  2. A member who has helped in the building and maintenance of the club, for example, helping with the ice installation and removal, decorating and painting or cleaning,

Honorary Lifetime Member Rewards

A member who is awarded an Honorary Lifetime Membership shall not be required to pay fees to curl in regular leagues.  This fee exemption does not apply to bonspiels and other special events.

An Honorary Lifetime Member will be entitled to attend and vote at all annual, general, and special meetings of the Club and hold office therein and to exercise all Club privileges for their lifetime.
