The Coldwater and District Curling Club, Team Middaugh's home club, hosted the 4th Annual Curl for the Cure, a curling fundraiser for the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation. 16 teams of ladies dressed in various shades of pink and elaborate costumes raised $19,707.00 for a very worthwhile cause. Kate, Andra and Sherry were honored to curl with the teams that raised the most money. Thanks to Karen Stiles for organizing the event, Jim Stiles for acting as the official photographer, Deb Stone for all the effort she puts into the club and of course to all the curlers who tirelessly go out and get donations year after year. Being piped on for every draw put this event over the top.

Headed to Canada Cup

Thank you Kelly Scott and company, otherwise known as Team Canada for winning the 2007 Scotties for the second year in a row. While Team Canada is off to Japan, for the Women's World's, Team Middaugh will be curling in Kamloops, B.C. in the Strauss Canada Cup. We all watched the STOH final with our finger's crossed knowing that if Team Canada won Team Middaugh would get the "phone call" to come to Kamloops. After a disappointing provincials, I know many people think coming second in your province is pretty darn good, but really second does suck and there is no sugar coating that. It almost seems like we are starting the second part of our season and looking forward to the Canada Cup March 13-18 and the Tour Championship in Calgary in April. Time to get back on the ice to practice and get those competitive juices flowing again.
