Building a curling club takes a lot of time and money. Thankfully we have great volunteers who step up when asked to complete projects and help the club stay within budget. Before we open the doors to our building this fall, volunteers will be called upon to do much of the landscaping, parking lot painting, furnishing, and ice shed interior finishing.
This Saturday volunteers came out to complete our first landscaping project, the initial seeding of our retention pond. It was tough work on a hot day, but we got it done, and at a great cost savings to the club.
Later in September and early October we'll be doing the landscaping for the entire site, planting hundreds of plants and trees around the building and pond to meet the city of Durham code. We hope to see many of you out there.
While using volunteer labor saves a lot of money, there are still significant material costs we need to cover. In May we kicked off a year long campaign to raise $32,000 to offset much of the costs of our volunteer projects. As of today we have raised
$13,476 or 42% of our goal. Thank you everyone who has contributed and we ask for your support to move us closer to our goal.

Thank you Dan, Cliff, Mike, Kathy, Steve, Amy, Patrick, and Chris for a job well done yesterday! Hopefully we'll see a lot of grass growing in a couple weeks!
