CLOSING CRYSTALS 2009 - SPRING BLING!!

A great way to close the curling season with a 6-end closing bonspiel. Everyone had such a great time and many people took full advantage of the 'bling' theme!! Thanks to Kim Cunningham, Leesa Smith, Kathleen Wilson, Fabienne Boudreau, Martha Guerriero, Louise Matulis and the rest of the crew for organizing/running such a fun event.

This is one of the best attended events. It is also part of the tradition that the 'new members' get the opportunity to put on a show for the ladies. (initiation??). Suffice to say that, every year the shows are imaginative and very entertaining! This year was no exception. Thanks to new members Joan Williams, Christine McMurray, Nancy Erikson and June Cooper. Good job ladies!!
