ADL – PEICA 2009 Awards Silver Fox Curling and Yacht Club Wednesday, June 10th It is with great pleasure that I have the opportunity to host this 3rd joint Amalgamated Dairies Limited and PEICA Curling Awards. Congratulations are extended to those who were nominated for award distinction this evening. I also congratulate not only those teams that achieved success on winning their provincial titles; but also the clubs and the many volunteers that have put in the effort and commitment to make our Provincial Championships the best possible. To Amalgamated Dairies Limited, CEO Jim Bradley and their many employees, to Sport PEI, including Executive Director Gemma Koughan, and to the PEI Government's Department of Community, Cultural Affairs & Labour, not only for tonight but also for the consistent support all year long to curling and all sports. Last but not least, congratulations go out to our sponsors for their continued support and belief in us not only as an organization but also in our goals that are in line with theirs, teamwork, cooperation, fairplay, and personal growth.
