EFCL is seeking members to volunteer for the landmark 100th Anniversary project.  We are working with the City on a plan to upgrade a portion of Hawrelak Park, which will include elements to recognize the contributions community leagues have made in Edmonton.  For more information contact Allan.Bolstad@efcl.org  780-437-2913.

Join us on Saturday, February 11, 2012 1:00 pm at Capilano Community League Rink Room, 10810 – 54 Street.   Register :  info@efcl.org  There will be presentations by the builders and the EFCL, and an opportunity for general discussion.  All leagues welcome.

This spring, let’s get excited about community leagues! In conjunction with our Next Generation initiative to bring more young people under 40 into community leagues, the EFCL will be hosting 6 regional matchmaking gatherings for non-league members with leagues  throughout the city.

Are you hosting an event on February 2^nd, 4^th, 6^th, 21^st, or 27^th? We would like to work with you and the Edmonton Oil Kings to co-promote your winter activity and take your event to the next level!
