JUNE 2003 VOLUME XXXXII ISSUE 6
Hello Fellow Buzzards: Sorry I wasn’t at last month’s gathering but I had something else to attend. My company had it’s annual picnic and there was free food, free drinks and a lot of nice looking,,,well let’s just say it was an enjoyable afternoon. I will have some more information on the annual tournament later in the newsletter. Also, I didn’t get the complete list of the results in the payoff brackets. I will try to have those next week. I really don’t have a whole lot more to pass on at this time, so on with bowling!!!
Minutes of Meeting:
Since I was not at the last gathering, and my ole’ trusty sidekick did not give me any notes, I don’t know how the meeting went so I can’t pass that on to those that did not attend. Sorry for the inconvience.
Attendance: We had 60 Buzzards at the gathering this month and 1 pacer. We had a great turn out last month and hopefully we can keep it up. Hope to see all of you this month on JUNE 1st @ DEL MAR LANES 3020 MANGUM (713-682-2506). The meeting begins at 1PM and bowling begins AT 2 PM. 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 and if additional lanes are not available, Jackie will fill in additional bowlers. (REMEMBER TO PAY CASH ONLY FOR YOUR BOWLING AND BRACKETS, AS THIS IS HOW JACKIE AND DENNIS PAY OFF THE WINNERS.)
Trivia: What royal decree did King Henry VIII issue in 1541?
HAVE A SAFE AND HAPPY FATHER’S DAY

Joke of the Month:
It was Palm Sunday and, because of a sore throat, five-year- old Johnny stayed home from church with a sitter. when the family returned home, they were carrying several palm branches. The boy asked what they were for. "People held them over Jesus' head as he walked by," his older brother explained. "Wouldn't you know it," the boy fumed. "The one Sunday I don't go, He showed up!"
