I would like to post some excerpts of Coach Daryl’s Diary for their last day … If you haven’t been reading his daily diary during the 2006 Winter Olympics, you can still go back and read each day and be treated to great insights of Team Kleibrink over in Torino. I enjoyed looking at the pictures, and all of the commentaries and even the words of the day 
The Calgary Winter Club is pleased to announce that it is hosting an Olympic Send Off Party for Canada’s Olympic Women’s Curling Team (Team Kleibrink) on Tuesday, January 24, 2006 at 7:30 pm - 10:30 pm. This is a unique opportunity to cheer on Team Canada before they embark on the most exciting journey of their lives!
Calgary area curling fans will be able to share a beverage and hors d’oeuvres with Olympic hopefuls Skip: Shannon Kleibrink; Third: Amy Nixon; Second: Glenys Bakker; Lead: Christine Keshen; and Alternate: Sandra Jenkins. As a part of the Send Off, a 10 day silent auction will be touring various curling clubs around Calgary and will close at the event, and a fast-paced, live auction will also be held. One hundred percent of all funds raised from this event will be presented to Team Kleibrink to assist them in their quest for Olympic gold!
