Lorne Underwood and Claude Field hosted a 16-team curling bonspiel recently for the Clifford Project of the Canadian Foodgrains Bank.
Dave Winkel’s team, on the 8:30am draw, edged out Jeremy Underwood’s team on the 10:30 draw by three quarters of a point, scoring 36 points to Underwood’s 35.25. Winkel’s team included Harry Winkel, Mike Defreitas and Ken Bender.
Other 8:30 draw teams were led by John Polfuss, Matt Lubbers, Brett Uhrig, Clifford Rotary, Leonard Underwood, Brian Molto and Ron McIntosh. Other 10:30-draw teams were Bill Raynard, Ray Alexander, Dwayne Koeslag, Bruce Shannon, Jen Van Dyk, Don Roswell and Aaron Dettman.
Teams were awarded prizes sponsored by Larry Grummett Insurance, North-Wellington Co-op, and Mennonite Savings and Credit Union.
A quilt was donated for a draw by the Sharing Our Faith Quilting Group, which meets the third Wednesday of each winter month. All are welcome to attend. For further details contact any of the executive: president Agnes Newton, vice president Bonnie Koeslag, secretary Sharon Kaufman, or treasurer Carol Ann Jackson. The winner of the quilt was Phil Baumgarten of Clifford.
Ellen Underwood and Arthena Underwood served a luncheon of pulled pork on a bun and potato salad.
Lorne Underwood set up a display of Foodgrains projects and spent most of the day talking to everyone about the local corn- and pumpkin-growing projects.
The Canadian International Development Agency matches match any dollars raised on a four-to-one basis. Therefore, a $2,000 curling bonspiel profit in Clifford means a total of $10,000 worth of support for Third World countries.
The curling bonspiel has been running for five years and includes curlers of all skill levels.
