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.. (REMEMBER TO PAY CASH (NO CHECKS PLEASE) FOR YOUR BOWLING AND BRACKETS AS THIS IS HOW JACKIE AND DENNIS PAY OFF THE WINNERS.)

JOHN DI IORIO DID SOME GREAT RESEARCH ON CHARTERING A BUS FOR THE TRIP TO FT. SMITH NEXT YEAR. THE PRICE IS GREAT AT ONLY $56.00 PER PERSON ROUND TRIP. BETH IS MAKING A LIST OF THE ONES INTERESTED IN RIDING THE BUS AND AS WE GET CLOSER TO THE STRT OF THE NEW YEAR WE WILL FINALIZE THE DEAL. OF COARSE IT ALL SDEPENDS ON YOU, THE MEMBERS WHEATHER WE CHARTER A BUS OR NOT - SO LET US HEAR FROM YOU AS TO YOUR PREFERENCE.
THE COOKBOOK COMMITTEE MET AND MADE SOME FINAL DECISIONS AS TO HOW THE BOOK WILL LOOK AND IT IS REALLY GONNA BE NICE. I KNOW THAT THEY WILL SELL GREAT & YOU WILL BE PROUD TO OFFER IT TO YOUR FRIENDS & FAMILY.
IT IS TIME TO START THINKING AVBOUT THE ELECTION OF OFFICERS AND RULES CHANGES AGAIN. SINCE OUR YEAR ENDS IN DECEMBER WE WILL BE VOTING AT THAT TIME - PLEASE ATTEND THE MEETINGS AND VOICE YOUR OPINION AS TO ANY CHANGERS YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE.
WE STILL HAVE NOT GOTTEN THE RESULTS FROM THE ANNUAL TOURNAMENT YET - THE TOURNAMENT DIRECTOR MADE AN ERROR IN CALCULATING THE PRIZE MONEY. HE ONLY PAID 1 IN 10 INSTEAD OF THE STATED 1 IN 5 PLACES……SO HE HAD TO RE FIGURE IT ALL AND THEREFORE WE DON'T KNOW YET HOW ANYONE DID. I WOULD THINK THAT WE SHOULD KNOW BY THE NEXT MEETING.
NOT MUCH ELSE TO REPORT AT THIS TIME -
