Another Season is Upon Us

Curling to Start in October

Hope everybody had a great summer, however as fall approaches it is time to put away the golf clubs and fishing rods and pull out the Curling equipment. This season is looking to be even more successful then our inaugural as Curl Mesabi. From the middle of November to the end of March, there will be curling activities taking place practically every day. Headlining for the 99-00 season is the Senior Nationals to be held February 17^th-20^th.

Senior Nationals

As Curl Mesabi's first National competition we need your help with the Senior Nationals. Gene "Gene the Curling Machine" Johnson (741-8312), Bruce Johnson (744-2345) and the rest of the committee have done an excellent job landing and organizing the event but they need volunteers before and during the event. Please notify them, sign up at the Club or at the fall membership meeting.

Membership Meeting - Open House

The annual fall general membership meeting is scheduled for October 19^th at 6:00PM, please plan to attend for all the info on the upcoming season, hors d'oeuvres, pop and beer to be provided. In conjunction with the membership meeting, our curling open house is to be held October 19^th through the 21^st. Come down and volunteer, or bring a prospective new curler to learn the game and maybe get involved in a league.

Icemaking Assistants

Leagues are scheduled to officially start the week of November 15^th, practice nights will start two weeks prior. Sign-ups will be available at the Club or during the membership meeting.

Junior Coordinators Needed

Northeastern Minnesota Junior Curling Association

After a very successful program last year, Tim and Linda Drobnick have declined the Junior Coordinator positions for the upcoming season. It will be hard to replace their efforts, however there has to be somebody from our Club who is up to the challenge. This position is essential for the long-term health of our Club, we need to have a successful program and good coordinators. By the way, it is a paid position. Please contact Tom Miller (744-3044) for the Coordinator positions and assistance.
