Calling All Painters

For the first time in several years, this season we are planning to utilize the West green for league play on alternate weeks. To make the green playable, we need to do some work on the backboards including spot sanding and repainting as well as adding the rink stripes. We will also do some sanding and repainting of the benches around both greens.

Please let me know if you can help out with painting efforts this coming Saturday, May 4th starting at 9am.  Obviously,  this is weather dependent, so let me know if you can help and I will communicate the painting schedule with volunteers directly.

Spring Luncheon

It’s time to get together for our annual Spring Kickoff Luncheon. The luncheon will be held this coming Saturday, May 4th in the Marcia Coles room (below Bartolatta’s Restaurant) from Noon till 2pm.

This is a great opportunity to get reacquainted with fellow club members, hear about the upcoming season and have some good food. The Club will cover the cost of the Lunch.  Attendees are asked to bring a dessert to finish off the lunch. Remember, there is no such thing as too many desserts. We could also use some help preparing for and serving the lunch.  Let me know if you can help.

Please RSVP to Mark Mathwig so we have an idea of how much food is needed and if you can help with the lunch.

2024 Spring Cleaning

The season is fast approaching.  Like every year at this time,  we need to spend some time on our greens,  grounds and house to prepare for the upcoming season.  Many of you have already volunteered your time to help with the new portico project and doing work on our house and grounds .  Thank you for that.  Now its time for the rest of us to help the club prepare for the 2024 season.

We have designated the next 3 Saturdays for this purpose.  

April 20th, 27th and May 4th beginning at 9am each week

Each Saturday will have very specific tasks that we want to accomplish.  This coming Saturday,  we plan to do the following things:

  • begin initial organization of the clubhouse including putting some things up in the attic and moving other items out of the clubhouse into the garages. 
  • We also plan on clearing the ditches on both greens as well as doing some edging.
  • Sanding the edges of each green
  • Pick up construction debris from the portico project
  • Sand and possibly paint one of the picnic tables

Each of the tasks should only take an hour or two.  So no need to spend your whole morning down at the greens.

If the list of tasks don’t fit your skill set or you can’t make it this week,  stay tuned for next week’s list of tasks.  It is expected that each member volunteer time for the club.  These work days are a great opportunity to do that.

Good Bowling
