To express their appreciation the Board of Directors extended Pauline a Christmas 2010 Bonus. Also on behalf of the Board of Directors, she was presented with a small token of appreciation at the last Wednesday Night league gathering, and received warm applause from our members. Pauline remains a member of the Wednesday Ladies league.Marlies Guenther has accepted the position of Bookkeeper starting January 5th. Please welcome her to the GEWC team!Marlies Guenther, I was born in Vancouver and have lived here for most of my life, except for a brief period in the 80's when I lived in Ontario, where a lot of my family is from. I also spent 10 years living on the Sunshine Coast in a small town called Egmont. I now call sunny (!) Port Coquitlam home and have lived here for 3 years. I have spent most of my career in the accounting field and after nearly 20 years of working as an accountant in various industries including manufacturing, heavy equipment, and construction, I decided to start my own bookkeeping business. I truly love what I do and never tire of crunching numbers . When I have free time, I like to spend it outdoors taking in all that the west coast has to offer. I enjoy cooking and entertaining and am passionate about learning and self-improvement. I also love spending time with my 10 month old puppy, Shelby.I am very excited about joining Lynne and the team at the Golden Ears Winter Club. I look forward to learning all about the curling world and meeting the members of the Club.more...See more text
