Well, it is hard to believe that anoth-

end this month. Time sure flies by
when you are having fun. As I write
this report, our play-offs have yet to
take place. I will share the results
next time.
The bowlers' year end trip is taking
place on Saturday June 8th. We are
traveling to Port Dover. We start
with perch or chicken for lunch at
the Erie Beach Hotel followed by a
performance of Sexy Laundry at the
Lighthouse Festival Theatre. This is
sure to be a fun day!
Upcoming Events:
Last Day of Bowling – April 19th
Closing Banquet – May 3rd
