September 30, 2021 by Lucy Harr, 75th Anniversary Committee Chair
It's our 75th Anniversary and like all milestones, it's a chance to look back, look around, and look ahead. Looking back, we see the foresight of the women meeting in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in January 1945 to form an organization for women curlers. By 1947, a constitution was written and the United States Women's Curling Association was born. Looking around, we see the roarin' game reemerge from the blank end, and looking ahead, we see more opportunities for encouraging youth and women to learn to curl.
You and your Club can recognize the occasion in a number of ways. A commemorative pin will be available as will an Historical Review highlighting key events. Visit the Merchandise page to order, but you can also support our mission by making a gift at the respective premium levels and receiving one or both of these items as a Thank You gift. Check a forthcoming email for details. A vest featuring the pin will also be on offer.
A list of ideas about how your Club can join in the celebration can be found further down on this page and if your Club installs ice decals, watch for more information on availability.
The upcoming National Bonspiel will also recognize our Diamond Jubilee. See below for details.
