Installation
Kudos goes out to Kay Lester and Dena Buffington who did an outstanding job on the Installation of Officers and Party, which took place on January 27, 2008. Thank you to Harmon Atkins, who handled the “Luck of the Draw” Scotch Doubles Tournament that took place after the Party. For those that attended, a fun time was had. For those that weren’t there, we missed you. More importantly, you missed a good time!

Most Members Brought In – Debi Richardson, who brought in five (5) people

Fallen Buzzards Award – High Men’s Series –Tom Burden with a 779 and High Women’s Series – Sue Banfield with a 774.

The Installation part of the day ended with a raffle while everyone sat around enjoying the delicious cake. The winners of the raffle were:

Nancy Burden – Mineral Glass Picture Frames
Robert Justis – Bowling Towel with Key Chain
Rustin Jones – Bowling Glasses
Marla Martin - Digital Key Chain

A great finale to the Installation Party was the “Luck of the Draw” Scotch Doubles Tournament. Three places were paid for this tournament. The winners were:
