Anchorage
Curling Club Building Fund Drive
The Anchorage
Curling Club (ACC) is a not for profit, all volunteer club that
promotes the sport of Curling. The club was founded over 50 years
ago, and our building reflects the age and use of a facility that
old. We have spent over $70,000 the past 2 years in repairs and
upgrades. We are a 2 sheet club (only 2 curling areas) with a
membership capacity at or exceeding our existing level of about 160
members. We have had to turn down countless potential memberships,
because we lack the room for them to play. In spite of this,
interest in ACC continues to grow, largely due to the success of
curling as an Olympic Sport, our members dedicated efforts to
continue ACC’s tradition of a family-oriented sport arena, and our
homegrown 2006 Olympian, Jessica Schultz.
The ACC
sponsors a growing youth program that needs to further expand and
provide space and time for future generations of curlers. Curling
promotes the values of exercise, fair play, and sportsmanship which
are important attributes in today’s society.
Both our
current growth rate and the need for a more reliable, energy
efficient facility are compelling reasons for us to seek assistance
in expanding the appeal of Curling by construction of a new and
larger facility.
In response to
this need the Board of Directors of the Anchorage Curling Club has
established a committee to explore the possibilities of a larger and
newer curling club. We have approached the State of Alaska to possibly gain
partial funding for this project. Your help and assistance in this
matter would be greatly appreciated. You can participate by donating
to the Anchorage Curling Club Building Fund. Your participation will
show others we are serious about our efforts to achieve our goal,
and help the State of
Alaska
come to a positive financial decision for the club. All funds raised
will go directly towards this program.
There is no
donation too small. Donations may be direct, pledged, or made in
payments.
Contact Ty Schommer (ty.schommer@gmail.com) or Justin Clem
(jamclem@hotmail.com) to make your pledge.
Sincerely,
Ken Bauer
