HELLO BUZZARDS
WE HAD 51 BUZZARDS, TWO THAT DID NOT BOWL, AND 5 PACERS. WOW, WHAT A LET DOWN FROM LAST MONTH. GUESS THAT SUMMER VACATIONS AND OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES HAVE TAKEN MANY OF OUR MEMBERS AWAY. HOPE TO SEE MORE OF YOU AT THE JULY MEETING.
WE WILL BOWL JULY 9th @ ARMADILLA II, 10055 FUQUA (713) 944-71 00. REMEMBER THAT BOWLING BEGINS AT 2 P.M. AND THE MEETNG STARTS AT 1 P.M. EVERYONE MUST BE SIGNED UP TO BOWL BY 1:30 (IN THE EVENT THE MEET ING ENDS EARLY WE MAY START BOWLING A LITTLE EARLY SO BE SIGNED UP AND READY) WE ARE BOWLING 4 TO A LANE. IF ADDITONAL LANES ARE NOT AVALABLE JACKIE WILL FILL IN ADDITIONAL BOWLERS TO MAKE 5 ON A LANE. THE 4 PERSON FORMAT ALLOWS EVERYONE TO FINISH ABOUT THE SAME TIME. (REMEMBER TO PAY C4SH (NO CHECKS Please) FOR YOUR BOWLING AND BRACKETS AS THIS IS HOW JACKIE AND DENN/S PAY OFF THE WINNERS)
WE APPROVED 2 NEW MEMBERS AT THE JUNE MEETING. WE WELCOME TO THE FLOCK ELLIE WARREN AND MIKE HUNN. WE CERTAINLY HOPE THAY THEY WILL COME BOWL WITH US AND ENJOY THE FUN AND FELLOWSHIP WE ALL SHARE. (YOUR SPOUSE OR FRIENDS CAN COME AND BOWL AS A PACER FOR $8.00. WHO KNOWS THEY MIGHT JUST QUALIFY TOO!
CONGRADULATIONS TO OUR PRESIDENT. JUDIE FINALLY SNAGGED ARLEN AND THEY TIED THE KNOT JUNE 3rd IN A CANDLELIGHT CEREMONY. WE WISH THEM MANY HAPPY YEARS TOGETHER. (YES, HE WORE A TUX!! NOT WESTERN WEAR AND LOOKED QUITE DAPPER.) JUDIE WAS QUIET ELEGANT IN HER PALE PINK FORMAL WEDDING GOWN... BUT THAT IS NOT SUPRISING. BEST WISHES TO MR. & MRS. ARLEN DEASON.

JACKIE HAS REPORTED THAT WE HAVE 23 TEAMS BOWLING IN THE ANNUAL TOURNAMENT IN CONROE THIS YEAR. WOW!! THAT'S MORE THAN WE'VE HAD IN A REALLY LONG TIME THANKS TO THE NEW BOWLERS WHO HAVE COMMITTED TO BOWL AND JOIN IN ON ALL THE FUN WE'VE BEEN HAVING FOR YEARS. IT'S NOT TOO EARLY TO START THINKING ABOUT NEXT YEAR IN FT. SMITH.
I AM GOING TO DO SOME CHECKNG TO SEE WHAT THE COST WOULD BE PER PERSON TO CHARTER A BUS AND POSSIBLY WE COULD ALL GO TOGETHER AND LET SOMEONE ELSE DO THE DRIVING. I'll GIVE YOU MORE INFORMATION AT THE SEPTEMBER MEETING.
REMEMBER THAT NOW IS THE TIME TO START WORKING ON GETTING YOUR 9 GAMES IN FOR THE NEXT TOURNAMENT. YOU MUST BOWL 9 GAMES BETWEEN JUNE 2000 AND MAY 2001 IN ORDER TO BOWL IN FT. SMITH.
A SPECIAL NOTE OF THANKS FROM JACKIE- I WANT TO THANK EACH TEAM CAPTAIN FOR GETTING THE APPLICATIONS DONE ON TIME AND IN ORDER. THE VERIFICATIONS ALONG WITH THEM WAS A BIG HELP TO ME AND I KNOW IT WLL BE TO TOURNAMENT DIRECTOR, BILL BUTTERFIELD, THOSE OF YOU THAT HAD THE APPLICATIONS READY AND GAVE THEM 10 ME AT THE MAY MEETING AND MAILED THEM TO ME IN MAY, WAS A BIG HELP. I HAD THOSE DONE BEFORE THE JUNE MEETING SO I WASN'T SO RUSHED TO MEET MY DEADLINE FOR MAILING THEM. I MAILED THEM JUNE 9th. WE'LL LET YOU KNOW AS SOON AS POSSIBLE ABOUT THE CONFIRMATIONS. THANKS AGAIN!!
IF THE CONFIRMATIONS COME SOON ENOUGH I WILL TRY TO PRINT THEM IN THE AUGUST NEWSLETTER. IF NOT AND YOU CAN'T BOWL THE AUGUST MEETING AND NOT SURE WHAT TIMES WERE REQUESTED, CALL JACKIE OR BETH AND THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO PROVDIE YOU WITH THE INFORMATION.
