At our Tam Heather Board of Director’s meeting last night, the Tam Heather Board regretfully accepted the resignation of Dennis Welbanks as President. Dennis is stepping down due to personal reasons.
We would like to thank Dennis for all of his contributions to Tam Heather over the years including serving on the Board of Directors for the past 17 years as President. Dennis was also Chairman and Drawmaster of the Mixed Curling Committee for several years.
On an interim basis Dennis served as Club Manager for the 2014-15 season following the passing of Ross Oldham, and was instrumental in the hiring of Doug Miller and Jason Leneeuw as General Managers.
More recently in 2020-21, Dennis helped steer the Club and its policies through the pandemic. His contribution and wise council will be missed.
