Polominos to host funspiel

The Strathmore Polominos Water Polo Club is hosting their first-ever fundraiser with a shorty funspiel and a chance for the curlers to have professionals John Morris and Ben Hebert be a member of their teams.
The proceeds from the event will go towards the operational costs of the club.
“It’s a family-oriented kind of spiel,” said Larissa Damen, parent-volunteer for the Polominos. “In the curling community, John Morris and Ben Hebert are very respected celebrities and Olympians. This is really cool to have them come to Strathmore and it’s an opportunity for people that would never normally get to meet John and Ben to be able to have that opportunity. I think it’s a great idea for a fundraiser and I hope it’s successful.”
Damen said the water polo club has to wait two years to host their first casino, and for that duration will be finding ways to fundraise in support of the players.
Morris and Hebert will be auctioned off at the live auction on Jan. 29 at 7 p.m., while the curling will get underway on Jan. 30 at 9 a.m. at the Strathmore Curling Club.
The event is looking for eight to 16 teams with the cost being $100 per team.
