The 46th annual Jam Can Curling Bonspiel, which takes place April 17 to 19 on the ice at the Shaw Centre, is in need of help.
Specifically, they need volunteers to help with registration for the various teams.
Lions Club of Salmon Arm member and organizer John Lund says they are in need of at least a dozen volunteers to sit at the registration booths that will be set up at the Mall at Piccadilly and Centenoka Park Mall a week prior to the event.
The event, which runs over three days requires about 75 volunteers.
“We’re OK there, we always have plenty of parents to help out,” says Lund. “It’s the registration at the malls where we really need the help.”
The event, organized by the Lions Club of Salmon Arm, and co-sponsored by the City of Salmon Arm, attracts hundreds of local elementary school kids from grades one to seven.
An entry fee of $20 per four-member team is required to offset the cost of renting the ice.
Hotdogs and drinks are provided free to participants on opening day by the Lions Club — all the cheering and yelling and fun is priceless.
To volunteer your time and help the kids out, call John Lund at 250-517-7264.
