President s Corner: Bowlers, please note that you have until October 18th to pay for your bowling locker rental. After that date the lockers will be emptied so that the club can issue a locker to bowlers who would like to rent one. Rental fees for the lockers are $2.00 for a single, and $3.00 for a double locker. Once again, thanks to Rocky Swan, and Craig Reynolds for the time and effort they have given to the bowling machines. As a result of their efforts, the bowling machines perform better, and are now ready for your bowling season. With the busy fall months now upon us, please remember that it is your responsibility to clean your tables when you leave the club, so that the next person or group will not have to pick up after you. Thanks for your consideration to your fellow club members. Thanks to Tom Koster, and Dale Anderson for a great senior golf outing. Thanks to Bill Kempf and his crew for a fun family day. The club is open on Sundays for your sports enjoyment. Hours of operation are from noon to 8:00 p.m., with last call at 7:30 p.m. Our deepest sympathy to the family and friends of Robert Hall who passed away last month. The Casino Club is looking for two, part-time bookkeepers. If anyone is interested please see a board member. Support your club and our troops, Ted Kowalewski Thumbs Up Auxiliary News The summer is coming to an end and I hope everyone had a great one. Meetings have started up again and I hope to see a lot of faces. Family Day is over and I would like to thank the ladies who volunteered their time to help and the very few that baked cakes. It would have been nice to see more faces. We are always looking for new members, so if you are interested, please come to a meeting on the first Tuesday of the month at 7:00 PM. We are always looking for new ideas for programs after our meetings. If you know of anything, please let us know. Hope to see everyone at the next meeting. Respectfully, Janice Turnquist, President
