A JFW Legend

Did you happen to read the story 'Opapa and Me' in the November Readers Digest?  If you did, you may have recognized the bearded gentleman in the red uniform on the title page:  Our very own Chief Warden Emeritus, Ernst Klaszus, much-beloved and affectionately known as 'Mr. Tree'.


You can read the entire story - just follow the link below.  It's well worth the time, even if you've never met Ernst!

JFW Curling Funspiel

Hey JFW families!! This Sunday, January 10th. Our club is putting on a curling funspiel and your invited!

We’re going to have a little “teaching session” for those of us who need all the help we can get! If your interested in joining the teaching session you can meet us at the curling rink at 11:30a.m. - 12:30pm. For those of you who are already pro’s you can join us at 12:30pm., for a 1:00pm. start. We should wrap up the day between 4 and 5pm.

This is set up to be fun for all ages and we’ll have some games for our younger wardens too, if they get a little tired of curling.

Because of insurance purposes any children/adults joining us for this day who are NOT registered members of Junior Forest Wardens will have to fill out a photo and insurance waiver BEFORE coming to the curling rink. Sorry, NO EXCEPTIONS!. Contact Neil at least 2 days before the event for waivers.

Be Sure to have a CLEAN pair of runners with you if you plan on participating in the funspeil, it’s required by the rink.

This event is covered completely by JFW so lets make sure to show up and enjoy the day! Lunch, snacks and drinks are available in the lounge upstairs for an additional cost.

Come for the curling, come for the prizes, come for the fun!!


See you there!!
