Dear Electronics Assembly Colleague:
We recently had the opportunity to try something unique. One afternoon recently we went to one of Chicago's private curling clubs we were learned how to curl. We learned "sweeping", "throwing the stone" and learned how to "throw for the button" . It was a unique experience and lots of fun was had by all the participants-try it sometime!.
