Sinner’s breakfast on Sunday morning is prepared by the Detroit Curlers.
Here is Dallas Schneider cooking the eggs.


Sunday Morning Sinner’s Breakfast:
The draw for various prizes requires a lot of dexterity in the folding and ripping of tickets.
Graham Wallbank on the left and Les Saunders on the right are doing the tickets while Dave Nelsen is just talking!
Note the red shirts which are required for Sinner’s breakfasts.


Patiently waiting for breakfast are:
Bob Mooney, Dave Hesse, ?#1?, Bob Kennedy and Les Houston (back to camera) (Nov 08)


Another Sinner’s breakfast tradition is the sinner’s choir who sing “Softly & Tenderly”.
Dave Nelsen, Dallas Schneider, Graham Wallbank, Don Fanstone, Joe Livermore, Don Warthman
