FEBRUARY 2002 NEWSLETTER VOLUME XXXXI ISSUE 2 HELLO BUZZARDS:
FIRST OF ALL LET ME JUST SAY THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING ME TO DO THIS. I KNOW YOU ARE PROBABLY WONDERING WHY SOMEONE WOULD SAY THANK YOU FOR BEING ALLOWED TO PUT A BUNCH OF INFORMATION ON A SHEET OF PAPER FOR PEOPLE TO READ. IT MAKES ME FEEL MORE USEFUL AND I HOPE THAT ONCE THIS THING GETS GOING I WILL BE ABLE TO PUT A SMILE ON YOUR FACE. THAT IN ITSELF MAKES IT ALL WORTHWHILE. SO THERE I HAD MY SAY. NOW I WILL GET OFF MY SOAP BOX AND LET YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENED LAST MONTH.
WE HAD 59 BUZZARDS AND 3 PACERS THAT BOWLED IN JANUARY. HOPE TO SEE ALL OF YOU THIS MONTH ON FEBRUARY 3 @ DIAMOND LANES 267 NORTH FOREST BLVD 281-440-9166. 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. (REMEMBER TO PAY CASH (NO CHECKS PLEASE) FOR YOUR BOWLING AND BRACKETS AS THIS IS HOW JACKIE AND DENNIS PAY OFF THE WINNERS.)
