HELLO BUZZARDS:

WE WILL BOWL FEBRYARY 4, 2001 @ AMF HOUSTON NORTH, 74 ALDINE BENDER. REMEMBER THAT BOWLING BEGINS AT 2 P.M. AND THE MEETING STARTS AT 1 P.M. EVERYONE MUST BE SIGNED UP TO BOWL BY 1:30. (IN THE EVENT THE MEETING ENDS EARLY WE MAY START BOWLING A LITTLE EARLY…SO BE SIGNED UP AND READY) WE ARE BOWLING 4 TO A LANE. IF ADDITIONAL LANES ARE NOT AVAILABLE, JACKIE WILL FILL IN ADDITIONAL BOWLERS TO MAKE 5 ON A LANE. THE 4 PERSON FORMAT ALLOWS EVERYONE TO FINISH ABOUT THE SAME TIME..
