Be sure to congratulate them if you see them at the club!
Hi All,
Some of you may remember a junior curler from Abbotsford named Kim Bonneau. She started curling in our Abbotsford Junior program a few years ago and helped out on the ice crew as well as coaching the juniors. Kim now lives in Alberta and she will be competing in the 2023 Points Bet Invitational in Oakville Ontario this week. She is part of Team Marks and they are playing against Kaitlyn Laws Wednesday (today) at 11am, this event is televised on TSN, not sure if her game is.
Congratulations Kim we are all very proud of you.
Cheers,
Kent & Della Bird

Hi All,
I wanted to thank everyone for another fun and successful year at the curling club. Special thanks to Nic Hoffard and Kevin Kostuk for helping me with the ice so I could get away to Hedley and spend time with the family, to Darlene Mclaren for assisting me in the office, pro shop, bar and making sure everyone had paid there dues, Paula LeSage for looking after the Monday, Wednesday night leagues and the junior program, and of course Linda Wilmott for making sure the bar was well stocked and everyone was well served. I will be back in the fall but this time with Della helping out in the bar and office, etc. The ice is almost out now and I will be leaving in 2 weeks for our vacation to Nashville, Memphis and the Kentucky Derby, yeeehaaa.

Thank you all for supporting the raffle in memory of Bob Fatkin. The raffle sold out and raised $2,790 which was matched in donation by Bob’s generous wife Diane Fatkin for a total of $5,580 to support junior and novice curling. These funds will help both programs for many years to come.
That is all for now. Have a Great summer everyone.
Cheers,
Kent & Della Bird
