If you are interested in being part of the Owatonna Curling Club board of directors, please express interest by emailing us at owatonnacurling@gmail.com.

There are 3 spots up for election each year. Board members meet a few times each year and are responsible for overseeing the workings of the club.

THANK YOU to Jeremy Saufferer and Kent Arrell for their commitment to OCC as they look to roll off the board this year. Darren Zempel is willing to continue with another term!

Board elections will take place at the annual meeting April 16.

If you're interested in getting involved, but not sure about a board position, we have opportunities in committees, as well! We are always looking for folks to join the bonspiel, education + skills enhancement, building + maintenance, and ice-making committees!!

Wear old clothes and be ready to get your hands dirty!
