On Wednesday April 4 ,2007 NGCC held
the
first Mary McClory Memorial Bonspiel
for
Day Curlers.
This event honors the contributions
made
by a lady who endeared herslf to many
of
the members of NGCC for her outstanding
efforts
as Membership Chair from 2004 till
her untimely
illness,which ultimately took her from
us,
early in 2007.
The first of many Mary's days was a
huge
success with 64 curlers(16 teams) participating.,along
with a number of guests, including
Mary's
brother, Pat, and sister-in -law, Sue.
The winning team,which was presented
the
new Mary McClory Memorial Shield by
Pat and
Sue McClory, was: Skip Jim Dolan, Third
Jean
Hartjes, Second Bill Surette, Lead
Rose Dolan
Each team played a morning and afternoon
six-end game. A wonderful pot-luck
luncheon
was devoured at noon. All those in
attendance
received a gift bag from the prize
table
at the conclusion of the spiel.
Judging by the comments, a good time
was
had by all. Mary would have loved it!
President Bill White
