Hello,
We may not be on the ice but Cedar Rapids Curling is busy this summer!
Deadline to nominate board members is SOON
Six two-year positions on the Board of Directors are up for election this summer by the general membership. To nominate yourself or another CRC member, email Phil Burian (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.) by July 4.
The Board meets once a month and establishes policies, appoints officers and committee chairs, and sets goals to accomplish Cedar Rapids Curling’s mission. Joining the board is a great opportunity to serve and help guide the club through the exciting growth that we expect to experience in the next few years. Significant curling skill or experience is not required, and having a few newer members actually is desirable.
For more information about what is involved, ask any current board member. You can learn more about the current board members here.
Members will receive an email with a link to vote for board members on July 11. Voting is anonymous and will remain open until July 25. New members will be announced at the July 31 picnic.
CRC + CR Pride
We are excited to join CR Pride in celebrating "30 Years of Pride." Cedar Rapids Curling will have a booth from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. (with set-up starting at 9:30 a.m.) at the July 9 festival at NewBo City Market. We will have a tent with a table full of curling items for people to check out, balloons for the kids (and adults), and hopefully our street curling set so people can "throw a stone."
We're looking for people to staff the table over a couple shifts--or whenever you can make it. It will be a great time hanging out together and sharing our sport with our community outside the ice!
Fun fact: Our very own Cedar Rapids Curling board member Drew Powell is also on the board for CR Pride!
Celebrate with a picnic
We have much to celebrate! Please join us for our Member Meeting & Picnic at noon July 31 at at Hawks Ridge Park in Fairfax (390 W. Prairie Dr., Fairfax, IA, 52228).
Bring your family and significant others! Cedar Rapids Curling will provide the hamburgers, brats, buns, and utensils. We ask that you bring an appetizer, side, dish, or dessert to share. After eating and catching up, we will have a short member meeting to share club status and plans and announce the new Board of Directors.
Congratulations to our spring league winners
