Game Duration - Correction

Volunteers Needed

Hello all,

In addition to the President's Start of Season Message, I would also like to welcome you to the '09-'10 curling year. At the same time, I would also like to solicit you for your help for the upcoming year.

As most of you know, after each game we run a 50/50 draw. The funds from the draws help to off-set costs of various activities we do for members throughout the year, like holiday and end of year banquets.
