The bonspiel committee is looking for a few more league members to help with the upcoming Over the Rainbow Bonspiel in January. We need league members to fill the following coordinator roles:

• Website/Social Media Coordinator: Help keep everyone updated online.
• 50/50 Coordinator: Manage the 50/50 and Joker’s Wild draws.
• Raffle Coordinator: Organize the popular raffle table.
• Photography Coordinator: Capture the fun and excitement of the event.

As a coordinator, you’ll work directly with a committee member to handle one specific part of the event’s planning and preparations this fall. This means you won’t have to attend committee meetings or be responsible for more than your part.If you are a league member and are interested in volunteering, contact bonspiel co-chairs Sean Addis or Russ Francis by emailing [email protected], or by reaching out to them on Facebook or in person.

Work is underway to lock in team compositions and set first‑round divisions. Skips will receive an email from the Membership Coordinator (Mike McGuire) by the first week of September to confirm your lineup, including members and positions.

In the meantime, check your schedules against the season calendar and submit any bye requests for Round 1 by September 11 (1 week before OPENR, our pre-season social event). Requests go to Patrick Peloquin ([email protected]).

Lastly, we have a list of enthusiastic curlers eager to join! If your team can welcome a 5th player, it’s a great way to meet someone new and help strengthen our inclusive community. Email Mike ([email protected]) to get started.

A huge shoutout to our incredible Rainbow Rockers volunteers who brought the spirit of curling to the streets at Capital Pride! Thank you for bringing your energy and enthusiasm to represent our league. It was also amazing to see so many familiar faces at the Pride Parade!

Happy Pride Rainbow Rockers!
