Golden Gate Bonspiel 2008: Celebrating 50 Years of Curling in the San Francisco Bay Area

A brief history of the San Francisco Bay Area Curling Club:

• The San Francisco Bay Area Curling Club (SFBACC) was founded March 13, 1958 in Mountain View. In the club's early years, it had a dedicated curling facility. For the past 20+ years, the club has curled on arena ice.
• The SFBACC was a charter member of the California/Oregon Association, which has now expanded to become the Mountain Pacific Curling Association (MoPac) and includes clubs from Oregon, Utah, Idaho, and Arizona.
• The club has been curling in San Jose since 1994. Until the 2006 Torino Olympics, the club rented ice for short seasons - sometimes only 6 times per year.
• After the 2006 Olympics, the club grew rapidly, and partnered with Sharks Ice to provide classes and leagues in both San Jose and Fremont.
• The club incorporated in December, 2007, and became a nonprofit 501(c)(3) in May, 2008.
• In the summer of 2009, the club expanded to the Oakland Ice Center, another Sharks Ice facility.
