On January 21st, the Vaughn Chapter of Paralyzed Veterans of America was proud to attend the Wauwatosa Bonspiel at the Wauwatosa curling club. There was a great turnout with twenty-three Veterans, sixteen from Wisconsin and seven from Illinois. It was a round-robin style tournament with teams of two throwing six stones, two stones at a time. All attendees ate Mission BBQ after the conclusion of their matches. The Wauwatosa bonspiel engaged PVA members in exciting tournament-style curling in a friendly low, stakes environment. Members were very supportive of one another and helped each other improve so they could curl their personal best. Overall, it was a wonderful bonding experience for all the PVA members involved. The Vaughan chapter hopes to continue doing many cross-chapter events in the future. Find the pictures from this event on the official VPVA Flickr page.

Everyone is welcome to attend this future event, and more registration information will come shortly.
