Dear Members:
Our next event is at Beacon Bowl on December 17th. We will again this year
be taking donations of non-perishable food goods and cash for the Food Bank
of Northern Indiana. Please bring donations the day of the tournament, no barrels
will be there ahead of time. Also, the invitations for this season’s Master’s
tournament in January will be mailed out shortly. If you (or someone you know
who is eligible) don’t receive your invitation by the December tournament
PLEASE let me know.
This month’s tournament was held at Sturgis Bowl with 73 members. Thanks
to Mike Converse and his staff for hosting us. The prize fund was worth over
$3,100. Dave Matheny won his first title.
