"LET THERE BE NO STRANGERS IN THE BUZZARD CLUB -
ONLY FRIENDS THAT HAVE YET TO MEET"BUZZARD CLUB OF AMERICA
HOUSTON CHAPTER
Founded October 1961 - Organized May 1963
Chief Buzzard - Tom WaltersHello Buzzards:
We had another great turnout with 70 Buzzards, 5 which did not bowl and 2 Pacers at the November event. We urge everyone to come and enjoy the fun and fellowship created by the club.
We will bowl December 5th at Dynamic Lanes, 6121 Tarnef (713-772-1063). Bowling begins at 2 P.M. Please sign up with Jackie by 1:30 P.M. and don't forget to get a door prize ticket from Terrance. Our meeting starts at 1 P.M. (In the event our meeting ends early, we may begin bowling before 2 P.M.) Please remember only four (4) bowlers to a lane. If we are not permitted to have additional lanes, Jackie will let you know so that five (5) can bowl per lane. We voted several months ago to only have 4 per lane except in uncontrollable conditions. This allows everyone to get finished at about the same time.
The 3-In-A-Row Roll Off will be held on December 5th. Those who re-qualified with 3 In-A-Row and paid Ellie will be in the roll off. The lucky participants will be: Martin Smith, John Harper, Bette Kelley, Nadine Underwood, Martha Warnken, Richard Alcorta, Angela Alcorta, Oscar Schobel, Melanie Brubeck, Carol Angeli, Becky Havely, Linda Knighton, John Rugg Sr., and Alan Long. You must be there and bowl to be eligible for the prize $$.

Who knows...they might even qualify as well.
Please remember to give your sanction numbers to Jackie as soon as you get it. This is an extreme must in order for us to continue our sanction with ABC/WIBC. Since the numbers issued to us last year are not going to change, she needs to see the new cards by January 2000 to make sure that everyone is current with the sanction dues.
We discussed briefly the cookbook. Beth has already been given some recipes and a few suggestions for a title. The money raised will be used for the annual tournament when we host it again. We urge all men and women to submit their favorite recipes. Bring them to the events each month and give them to Beth. We are just now starting this and it will take some time. This will be such fun and if you would like to help organize and work on this with Beth please let her know. A couple of Buzzardettes have raised a wing to volunteer. Thanks Martha and Sandy but we will need more.
Nominations for Officers are: Arlen Deason, President; Dennis Davis, 1st Vice President; Paul Phillips, 2nd Vice President; Jackie Rugg, Secretary; Beth George, Recording Secretary; Barbara Castellese, Treasurer; Gayle Miller, Parliamentarian; John Rodgers, Sergeant at Arms. All Area Directors are appointed by the President. Additional nominations for any office from the floor may be made. ELECTION OF OFFICERS DURING THE DECEMBER MEETING
The Christmas Party will be at Del Mar. Please bring a vegetable, snack or dessert. The club will provide the meat.
Jackie has asked that all re-caps be turned in to her. Some are leaving them on the lanes or tables and she is afraid the cleaning crews might throw them away before she realizes she is missing some. She will not be responsible for them if they are not turned in to her or they are missing. COVERED DISH CHRISTMAS PARTY - 12/19/99 @ DEL MAR LANES
