Hello everyone!

Welcome to the Curl for Kids program and welcome to the Highland
Curling Club.  My name is Megan Torrie, and I am the Youth Curling Director
at the Club.  As such, I am the co-ordinator for the Curl for Kids program.
I started to learn how to curl from my dad, from my community, from school,
and I continue to learn every time I step on the ice.  Curling is a great
sport that balances personal skill with teamwork.  But you must already know
how great it is, because you are involved with the sport!

Our intent is to provide instruction to new and developing young curlers so
that they can appreciate and enjoy the sport as much as we do.  We have
started the year off with the basics of curling to develop skills, but will
progress to "playing the game" as the season progresses.

We have a big group this year; forty-one children have registered, with
varying experience levels from first-timers to three-year  "pros."
Thankfully, some of our graduates from the program have returned to help us
with the on-ice instruction.  Besides myself, there is also Wayne Michaluk,
Raymond Merk, and Harvey Kowalchuk on the ice.  But we could use more help!
Please talk to me or one of the other instructors if you are interested.

Other dates:
 - Curling on Nov 18, Nov 25, Dec 9, Dec 16
 - no curling on Nov 11, Dec 2, Dec 23
 - tentatively, we will back curling on Jan 13 - I will advise if it is
earlier (Jan 6).

Lastly, your comments or suggestions are appreciated and encouraged.  Please
let me know what you think!

Best regards,
Megan
