Ball and Socket Mary McCormack is doing well from her broken hip. It will be a long healing process. She fell again after her surgery, but is doing a lot better now. Her Osteoporsis is complicating matters, however, the x-rays show that the pinds are holding good. She has a Therapist that comes to the house two - three times a week. We wish Mary the best as she recuperates from this and hope to see her back with the flock soon!

 
Our January Tournament will be held at City View. Come experience the lanes at the home of the 2010 Annual Tournament! Everyone is encouraged to come to the tournament and see where we will be hosting our Annual Tournament in 2010.

Nancy Burden and Jacking Stovall are our January Grand Door Prize volunteers.

Welcome
The Irving Chapter is proud to announce two (2) new members have joined the flock! We welcome with open arms Chris Osornio and David Dickinson. Chris, who qualified at Forum Bowl, is brought to us by Ricky Ellis. David, who qualified at Spare Time Lanes, is brought to us by Lou Kropff. Welcome Chris and David. We hope you enjoy yourselves, and we see you at all the upcoming tournaments! Lets all make Chris and David feel at home.

Thank you A big thank you to Lou Kropff and the Party Committee, Joleen Brown and Mary McCormack, for preparing such a great Christmas Party! Everything was great and everyone attending had a great time! Your hard work and time paid off! We appreciate all you did.

A special thank you to Diane, Joleen's friend. Out of the kindness of her heart she gave her time and helped the committee with the party as Mary McCormack couldn't due to her broken hip. We appreciate you, Diane!

Vote Don't forget that December is our Annual Charity Fund. We will be doing the Salvation Army again this year. Bring money for lunch afterwards. We will probably go to our ol' standby, Angelo's.
