 SPRING 2018 NEWSLETTER  

Thank you to all our KCC members, volunteers, staff, and guests for a terrific 2017-2018 curling season. Our club hosted four bonspiels over the course of the season, as well as the Northern Ontario Curling Association (NOCA) U18 regional playdowns. We had several successful fundraising events such as a Christmas bake sale, two Escape Rooms, as well as providing bar services for two hockey tournaments and the annual Chamber of Commerce Awards dinner. Fundraising revenue has been used to offset operating expenses and to help reduce our debt for the exterior roof replacement. Thank you to all who volunteered and participated in all our events over the season!
