PRESIDENT’S REPORT
Our first major project in the fall was “Return to Yesteryear”, our fashion show so capably and successfully convened by Donna McFadden and Janet McMonagle. We thank you, your committees, and models for the time and effort devoted to this project, – and, of course, for a nice Net Profit of $1,416.19.
With the reincorporation of the Curling Club in 1978, and the subsequent new club by-laws, our constitution and by-laws are being revised and relate directly to those of the club.
It would appear from some of the photos sent to us for our scrap book, that all who attended the 25th Anniversary of the PEI Ladies Curling Club Association in Summerside, had a good time. I would like to thank Ginny Kays for sending us some memorable photos for our book.
WAYS AND MEANS COMMITTEE
Finally, I am pleased to inform you that your convenors for the 1981 Fashion Show will be Doris McLeod and Ferne Riggs.

SENIOR DELEGATES REPORT
Saturday’s special 30th anniversary reception sponsored by the PEILCA brought a large number of past and present curlers out to participate in the fun and enjoy the curling. The club was bubbling with excitement making Scott 1986 Open a big success.
In September the PEILCA provided a $500 bursary to a junior lady curler in the Provincial pursuing university studies. This was won by our own Ann Partridge. The Scott Tournament of Hearts 1984 National Committee provided a $1,000 scholarship from their balance of funds which was won by Charlottetown Club’s Tammy Cudmore.
The Board of Directors of the Charlottetown Curling Club would like to take this opportunity to thank the Ladies Executive for their donation of $2,000.00 towards the paving of the parking lot.
