Hello,
We're having a great winter league. Let's keep it going!
Volunteer for Wounded Warrior event
We are excited to partner with Wounded Warrior to host an event from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Friday, Feb. 21!
Sharing the value of this sport with those who have earned each of our own freedoms for us and their supporting families is a great way to start the weekend -- and it also inches us toward our goal of dedicated ice by making friends who appreciate that value.
Please help where you can; it really takes a village to make this all happen.

Join Des Moines for a friendly at Kansas City Curling Club
Due to a scheduling mishap, our friendly with Owatana is instead going to be in Kansas City! Kansas City Curling Club is hosting a friendly between neighboring(ish) clubs: Cedar Rapids Curling and Des Moines Curling Club.
Friendlies are an opportunity for club members to enjoy a day of curling on dedicated ice and to make new friends. These events are open to everyone, from beginner to advanced curler, and typically consists of two to three short games, each followed by broomstacking.
This event will have:
- Teams: 16 spots (4 teams)
- Date: Saturday, March 8 (one day!)
- Time: Noon to 7 p.m. (might vary depending on who they find for ice techs)
- Cost: $30 including ice rental and pizza (beverages will be on your own)
- Registration is first-come, first served.

Host clubs usually have basic sliders, stabilizers and brooms to borrow if you do not have your own, but check with a Cedar Rapids Curling officer if you have concerns.
Talk to your team about helping with LTCs during bye weeks
As we did in the fall, we are holding back a sheet or two on a few Tuesdays for small learn-to-curl events.
If you have a bye, we ask that one or two team members volunteer for the learn to curl or to help with instructional league. Next time your team has a bye, a different member can assist and you can take a night off or sub in league as always.
We also will host a full-ice learn-to curl from 6:45 to 9:15 Tuesday, March 18, and will need all hands on deck.

If you want to be part of the planning process, email Kari Kozak (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.). We want to get the ball rolling, so don't wait! This is a great opportunity for newer club members to see and help behind the scenes.
