SPIEL--looking for teams
Like you, I was surprised to learn of a few openings in the 56th Annual Men's International Bonspiel at the Chicago Curling Club.  Thirty two teams will compete in this four event bonspiel which begins Thursday morning January 13, 2005 and concludes with finals on Sunday afternoon, January 16, 2005.  The $400 USD entry fee includes open bar, continental breakfast and lunch each day of curling, steak fry on Thursday night and the legendary house dinner parties on Friday night hosted by members of the Chicago Curling Club.  As you know, our Men's event is special due to the intense competition on the ice and decades old friendships enjoyed off the ice.  I'd like to extend an open invitation to a few teams interested in joining our event.
Thanks for your help.  Please have interested teams contact me as soon as possible via email at sande510@concentric.net
