Hello everyone. Here is your weekly news:
1-) Fundraising for Curling Quebec: We remind members interested in investing in curling that donations received before December 31st will be eligible for tax deduction for the year 2016. Donations will be matched 230% by the Gouvernement du Québec. Click here to make a donation.
2-) A particular thanks: Curling Quebec would like to thank Mike Carson for all of his help throughout this season. We asked Mike if he would be willing to help us by verifying the draws for our championships as he is an expert in balancing sheets, rocks colours, etc. Due to many different factors, it is often very difficult to come up with the “perfect” draw, but we try to get it as perfect as possible. Thanks a lot for your help Mike!
