JANUARY 2008 VOLUME 47 ISSUE 1

Hello Fellow Buzzards:
I hope everyone has a safe and prosperous new year. I don’t have the new bowling schedule for next year yet, but we bowl at Copperfield this month and the rest of the schedule will be in next month’s newsletter. Please disregard the schedule in this newsletter. Don’t forget to show Jackie your sanction cards again this month if you haven’t already done so. Also, dues are to be paid starting this month. Don’t forget, the three-in-a-row roll off will be held at our January gathering. That’s really it for this month, so on with bowling!!!
Minutes of Meeting: Arlen opened the meeting and presented the treasurer’s report which passed. Three new member applications were voted on and also passed. Annual dues for 2008 are to be paid in January. All sanction/membership cards should be shown to Jackie in January. Election of Officers for 2008 was presented, voted on, and all were elected. The rule proposal was presented, voted on, and was approved. Arlen thanked the members who brought a child’s gift. Nothing else was brought up so the meeting was adjourned.

Attendance:
We had 74 Buzzards at the gathering in December, five that did not bowl and no pacers. Our next scheduled gathering is on January 6th @ Copperfield Bowl 15615 Glen Chase Dr. Houston (281) 550-8710. The meeting begins at 1 PM and bowling begins at 2 PM.
Bowling Reminder: There are only two balls per lane during warm-up and not 10 minutes. First and last names of bowlers are to be put on the re-cap sheets each month. Also, make sure the total number of splits and your games are totaled before you sign the sheet at the end of bowling. If you re-qualify, please make a note on the re-cap sheet and you can receive a Buzzard pin for $ 2.00 and be entered for “THE ELLIE DEASON MEMORIAL THREE – IN – A- ROW “roll-off in January. Don’t forget, if you show up to bowl in your birthday month, you pay only $5.

Sad Note: Jo Roznovsky, affectionally known as Mama Jo, the cook at Del Mar Lanes, has been diagnosed with Lymphoma. For any donations you can contact Diana Roznovsky (713-582-041), Sandi Maher (832-877-8982) or Sharon Michna (713-851-2317)
Special Note for All Members: The Houston Buzzard Club is for the members and all members should have a voice in all that goes on within the club. When the meeting has started it is very beneficial for all members to be in attendance so that everything that is said is understood by everyone and not relayed to people that are visiting by the lanes. A lot of members will hear second-hand information that may be missing an important point and then they start to complain or don’t understand why it was even discussed. If a member chooses to not attend the meeting, then that member should not complain of a decision or about anything else that was discussed at the meeting.
Applications: Whenever a new application is filled out, please be sure to make it ledgeable. There are a few times when I can’t make out the address which delays the member getting it if it goes to the wrong address. Also, complete ALL the information on the application and provide the signature where required. Your help in this will be greatly appreciated.
Price Increase: The price to bowl at our gatherings may increase in 2008. I will pass on that information as soon as I have it.

To keep the BUZZARD CLUB sanctioned, I must see your 2007 - 2008 card no later than January 2008. You will not qualify for any money for high games or for the most splits beginning in January. So, for both our sakes, PLEASE SHOW ME YOUR MEMBERSHIP CARD WHEN YOU SIGN IN. Many members in December chose not to show me their card. Also, it has been mentioned many times, DO NOT SIGN ANYONE TO BOWL UNLESS THEY ARE IN THE HOUSE. There were several no shows in December. Also, only 4 bowlers per lane unless told otherwise. Your co-operation will be appreciated.

E-Mail Update: With the cost of postage going up, I would like to start sending the newsletter by e-mail to more members. I realize the biggest concern to members is that other people will see their e-mail addresses. I can assure you that this will not happen since I a send the newsletter to myself and do a “blind copy” to the recipients so that nobody can see who else receives it. Please think about it and let me know. Shirt Update: The representative Donna has been in contact with was unable to attend our November gathering. Likewise, the representative Dennis has been in contact with also was not present but did send samples of the ladies sizes. A discussion was had about what style of the buzzard head shoud be used on the shirts. The members agreed to have the different buzzard head designs printed out on paper and brought before the membership for a vote. As said by Arlen at our October gathering and printed in our November newsletter, any and all problems concerning the shirts will be corrected and he asked for your patience until this is resolved. Anyone that has a problem with the shirts that doesn’t think can be resolved easily, please contact Arlen and only Arlen. 200 Club Results: There were 57 members (11 women & 46 men) that bowled 200 games this past year. Dave Davis & Marty Neff bowled fifteen 200 games each with Marty bowling the highest at 285. Anita Garcia & Barbara Castellese led the women with three 200 games each and Barbara had the highest game of 221. |
