Hi Everyone,

We've been making tremendous progress in bringing curling to San
Diego. With open houses in October and a couple sets of stones on
loan from the WCF arriving in about a month, regular curling is
becoming a reality in sunny SoCal!

As part of our fundraising drive, we have launched an Adopt-a-Rock
program. For a donation of $225, one of our 64 rocks will be
dedicated to you, with your name (or other text of your choosing)
permanently printed onto one side of the handle area. Your tax-
deductible donation also comes with a one year membership to Curl San
Diego, a $50 value.

Starting a curling club is not a cheap endeavor - while we do have
stones on loan, we will need to raise money to pay for them before
those loans expire. For the stones and all of the other equipment
(hacks, pebbler, club brooms, etc.), we will need about $20K. We are
working to raise money from corporate sponsorships, but the adopt-a-
rock program is an important part of our fundraising plan.

If you are interested in adopting a rock (or multiple rocks), please
contact me at ehicks@.... You can also check out the website

Thank you!
