Committee Members Needed

The 2010-2011 season has come to an end.  Thank you for all your feedback and for your support.  The tour continues to grow stronger and we should all be very proud of the success our Sask women curlers have had at so many levels this year.

The SWCT committee is looking for new members.  Jolene Campbell has left the committee after many years of commitment.  Thanks Jo. We would love to have some representation from the north as well as from some teams that play both on the WCT and SWCT.  This is a commitment that does not take a lot of time or require many meetings.  Travel for meetings is not necessary - telephone or video conferencing would be fine.  Having a diverse executive is important for the 2011-2012 season and to help grow our tour.

The current committee members who are willing to stay on for the 2011/12 year are:
Danielle Sicinski
Joanne Warbey
Michelle McIvor
Susan Lang
Tanya Craig

If you wish to join the committee or if you have questions, please email us at saskwct@yahoo.ca
