Bowling Balls
Marvin and I are finishing up the bowling season at hand. Last night was the first of several banquets that will be attended over the next month. We even took some money home. I won first place in high game handicap (290) and came in 22nd in our year-end tournament, winning $65. Marvin really racked up. He came in second place with high game handicap (289) and came in fourth in our year-end tournament, winning $140. That's the most that we've ever won during our bowling seasons together.
I will also be attending the women's bowling association (of which I'm president) banquet and the Thursday night/men's bowling association (of which Marvin is president) banquet in the next few weeks. This year is the final year that both associations will have separate banquets. As of May 1, the associations are merging and we will have an entirely different set of individuals in officer positions. Both of us have decided to step down and give someone else their chance to shine and develop their talents. I've always said that an organization is only as good as its members. Presidents come and go, but a strong membership keeps the balls rolling.
