March 2019

Detroit curlers ventured north to Kitchener-Waterloo for another fun weekend.

Many thanks to Matt Schumacher for taking pictures on the weekend.

This past summer/fall has been a very sad one, as 5 of our KW exchange members passed away.
They were: Don Sloat, Marty Verhoeven, Peter Hartill, Gord McConnell and Aden Snyder.
Click on the name of the member above to see pictures of them.
They can also be found under the “History/In Memoriam” menus.
