Calling for volunteers: I am looking to co-ordinate 500 simultaneous open houses in February 2018, right in the middle of the winter olympics.

Seven provinces have a statutory holiday during the Olympics. If we can get 500 clubs in those provinces to host an open house, and each teach 200 curlers how to curl, we can add 100,000 new people who have tried our sport. Not all will become members or long term players of course, but some will.

Details, mailing list, etc here: http://www.familydaycurling.com/

At our open houses we are lucky to get 40 or 5035 people.

I have just sent a letter to each of the provincial & territorial associations, as well as Curling Canada. Read a copy here:

http://www.familydaycurling.com/201...l-associations/

If you work at the association level, please encourage them to read the letter, and participate.

Also: I have received offers (thanks Gerry!) to carry banner ads for the idea. Any artists out there willing to create something nice?
