The Annual Tournament is just around the corner! Let’s get those teams together and prepare for the Annual Tournament being held in Montgomery County the first or second week of August. We should have the entry forms here any day now. In the mean time, get your team together and make copies of your sanction cards to turn in. Teams must consist of four people, one being of the opposite sex. We would like to see just as good a turn out as we had last year! Gooooo Irving Buzzards!

The Silent Auction with Easter and/or St. Patrick Baskets last month was a HUGE success! Everyone who brought baskets made a very nice presentation. The Club earned $351 for our Charity Fund.

Save your dollars! Bring them to the April Tournament! We are going to be having crossovers at the April Tournament. Everyone is welcome to participate. A dollar per person will entitle you to a fun-filled time! You can crossover with as many people of the opposite sex as you wish. Just bowl your best and may the best teams win!

The Phone and Audit Committees have been appointed and we thank these people for their participation. The Phone Committee will consist of Billie Atkins and Jackie Bayless. The Audit Committee will be chaired by Ken Conley. His committee will consist of Lou Kropff and Joeleen Brown.
