HOW TO VOLUNTEER

 

Like most curling clubs, we rely heavily on volunteers for many things. From making and maintaining the ice, to the bonspiels that we host throughout the season, none of these would be possible without the dedication of our club members.

​

Volunteerism is what makes our club what it is today. Without your participation outside of league play, hosting fundraisers (bonspiels) would not be possible. These events bring significant income to the club, which helps to keep our expenses in check and our dues manageable.

​

We instituted the use of an app called Track it Forward https://www.trackitforward.com Through the use of this app, we learned that it takes at least 1,400 hours of volunteer time to run the club. Based on current membership levels, that equates to roughly 10 hours of volunteer time per member.

​

The club really stepped up for five Bonspiels last year…. We’ll need that same level of intensity and more this year as we are hosting two additional bonspiels in 2026 - the USA Curling Junior Mixed Doubles Qualifier and The Red Carpet College Doubles Bonspiel, plus we will host the 5U USA Curling National Qualifier again. Please help to show our future guests just how amazing we are!

​

This season, you will be asked to choose one of the following three options when you fill out your waiver and pay your dues…
 

1. Volunteer 10 hours around the club. Activities could include making ice, serving on committees, helping at bonspiels (ice crew, kitchen staff, officiating, seeking raffle prizes, etc.)You can find events on our calendar page. Our Volunteer Hours Binders will allow you to log your hours. We will track hours for all members so please fill them out each time you volunteer, whether you choose this option or not.

2. Sell 10 additional calendars. Choosing this option will mean that your packet will contain fifteen (15) calendars to sell instead of the original five (5).

3. Donate $100. This can be a monetary donation or buying requested item's/food for our events.
