April 2, 2019 by ·
VOLUNTEER IN THE SPOTLIGHT: Carl Jung.
Our 57th International Tankard Volunteer is Carl Gung, retired from BC Hydro. Carl hails from the Delta Thistle Curling Club. Carl has curled for 31 years dedicating much of his time not only to curling but also to volunteering. Carl is the outgoing President of the Fraser Valley Masters Association, standing as President of the Seniors Masters. Much of Carl’s time is also spent as a Club Coach to Novice Adults as well as the Juniors. His passion for the sport as gleaned growth within the club seeing an increase of especially the Senior membership over 10% in the last two years. The vehicle of growth is often attributed to “word of mouth” through the community providing opportunities for individuals to learn a “new to them” sport.
Carl has acknowledged the club manager, Patrick Prade of Delta Thistle, for its many successes in growth. The club has over 600 members including Seniors as well as hosting not only bonspiels but also playdowns.
Carl has support from his wife, Wendy, and his family including his grandchildren. It is his desire to continue to work with the curling community of Delta Thistle for the growth of the game we all have come to know and love.
Congratulations Carl, on your selection of representing the Delta Thistle Curling Club and thank you for all your volunteer work.
