Ok folks! It’s that time again. It’s time to pay your dues. Those of you who have paid your yearly dues in March or paid for six months, it’s time to pay again! If you don’t know or aren’t sure if you owe, please see Don Banfield. At any rate, come prepared to pay as we would hate for you not to be able to win any monies because your dues are in arrears. More importantly, we don’t want to lose any of our members!

An Audit of the books has taken place, and no discrepancies were found.

As proud as you may be of your patches, please do not put any on your Buzzard shirt. Buzzard Club of America does not allow patches on your shirt. Your cooperation in this matter is greatly appreciated.

DON’T FORGET FOLKS, DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME BEGINS MARCH 9, 2008, WHICH HAPPENS TO BE OUR TOURNAMENT DAY. TURN YOUR CLOCKS ONE HOUR AHEAD OR YOU’LL BE LATE FOR THE TOURNAMENT!

Well, well, well – the members just keep coming to the Irving Buzzards Club. We are happy to announce that February brought us two more new members. Lou Kropff brought in Jack Chilson, who qualified at AMF Sparetime. Ken Conley brought in Sharon Roberts, who qualified at Sparetime. Welcome to both and we hope you enjoy your stay with the flock!

We will have a Silent Auction with Easter and/or St. Patrick Baskets at our March Tournament. Bring your baskets – either home-made or store brought. Whatever floats your boat. Put a minimum bid on your basket, if you wish to do so, or just put the basket out and see who bids on it! All proceeds will go to our Charity Fund. Bring your checkbooks and start a bidding war!

The Fundraising Committee has been selected and will be chaired by Robert Justis. The committee will consist of: Tamara Feuchtwanger, Dena Buffington, Cherill Potss, Ken Conley and Lou Kropff.
