The league will last for six (6) weeks, on FRI nights. You will bowl three (3) games/week. If you can not make FRI’s, bowl three (3) games and have scores verified. Well, I’ll keep it short this month, but want to remind you, it’s all about MEMBERSHIP this year. Every year our ranks become a bit smaller. We need new and active members so we may continue to serve our VETERANS, CHILDREN, and COMMUNITY, as well as provide a vibrant LODGE1626 for years to come. Remember if you have any thoughts and/or suggestions regarding activities, improvements, membership, or anything else, let the officers or me know. It is you that makes the difference.
