What’s happenin’ in the HOUSE:
Tonight: It’s APPETIZER NIGHT! 2 people on each team bring an appetizer to share. Then NEXT week - the other 2 people on the team will bring an appetizer to share. Bring your own napkins, plates, serving utensils, and recipes to share!
You are bringing for just your table. You can share with others if you like though.
Last year 9pm playing teams chose to come early and celebrate before their game – contact your opposing team and see what you want to do.
Next week: APPETIZER NIGHT PART 2! This time the other 2 people on the team will bring an appetizer to share. Bring your own napkins, plates, serving utensils, and recipes to share!

The Year Long Scavenger Hunt
This is your off ice team building fun….
Guidelines:
- Keep a spot on your phone/computer or day book that tracks your successful ‘hunting’ over the curling season.
- Each week your team will be given a clue to gather, take a picture of , answer or do….
- As per my personality – the more creatively you complete the clues – you can get bonus points!! 😊
- We will assess your progress before Christmas and keep going in the new year (if it is a success!?!)
