Greetings Curlers!

The Board of Directors for the Duluth Curling Club have voted to open for the 2020-21 season.

The decison to open was made with the health and safety of our members at the forefront.  Our protocol 

committee is hard at work preparing guidelines for play during the COVID-19 pandemic.  We will

rely on the advice of the CDC, the MDH and the USCA for this unusual year and hopefully none of us

will have to go through this again in our lifetimes.

For more information in the coming days, check the DCC Facebook page, your emails and the DCC website.

Good Curling!

Duluth Curling Club
