2 Bonspiel helps fund Haiti relief efforts Nine teams of most rookie curlers threw rocks and swept hard on Saturday at a bonspiel for a local church group's humanitarian trip to Haiti in May. There was a lot of laughter and unorthodox curling moves among the 50 participants during the round-robin play at the fundraiser organized by the young adult group at Acton's Bethel Christian Reform Church. Team Turkeys from R&M Construction was the winner at the end of the day at the Acton Curling Club, and team members received swag bags, donated by Acton Home Hardware. Team Haiti member Kim Rauwerda estimates they need between $27,000 and $37,000 to send 15 people and building supplies to Haiti to work with Awaken Haiti, whose missionaries will help co-ordinate the Acton group's work. "Right now, they are finishing a medical/dental centre, so if they're not finished by the time we get there, we'll work on that," Rauwerda said on Saturday, adding if THE NEW TANNER THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 08, 2012 the building is finished, the Acton team, which includes a nurse and several members with medical training, will work in the centre, and the rest of the Acton team will build houses. She said the proposal trip was suggested by church elders and was taken on by a group of young adults with varied skills, including construction. The bonspiel was the group's first fundraiser, and "went well" Rauwerda said, adding they plan to host a fundraising dinner in March.
