Thank you to Neil DeCoff and a bunch of others….

My most sincere thank you to Chedabucto CC member Neil DeCoff for suggesting and putting together yesterday’s concert at the Chedabucto Place Performance Centre. The crowd was great and the music fantastic. Neil and his fellow musicians delivered on behalf of the curling club. Their combined support is truly appreciated. Thank you to all of my fellow executive members for stepping forward to assist with the front-of-house duties at the Chedabucto Performance Centre.

Thanks also to Miles MacDonald, 1978 past president of the Chedabucto CC, for enabling the Chedabucto Performance Centre to be available.

I also acknowledge and thank the many who attended the concert, purchased 50/50 tickets and those who made donations towards the Club’s renovations/expansion project.

It was a great day and one in which a person can be very proud of what the curling club represents and how it gives back into its community.

My sincere thanks to all.
