HOLIDAY PARTY

Next week we will have our annual pot luck and Yankee Swap.  If you would like to participate, please bring any kind of dish and a $10 gift.  Someone please remember to bring plates, silverware and napkins this year, so we don't have to sponge off the alley!    

IGBO NEWS

Tim will be handing out your IGBO Membership cards.  These are yours to keep.  I asked our Regional Rep if the IGBO Police were going to come around sometime and check ID's!  Well, that's a big no, but if you decide to bowl in an IGBO tourney in the next year, the tournament hosts may ask you for your IGBO ID.  Your membership number is your last name plus your birth month and day, e.g. Richardson0502.  

NEW MEMBERS

We've added a couple of new bowlers recently that I haven't mentioned.  Greg has left for Ft Lauderdale for the winter (don't you just hate him!), so Barry Germond (hope I spelled that right, Barry) will be taking Greg's place.  Tim finally convinced his partner, Richard Talbot to start bowling, so he will be a sub (bowler, that is!) whenever he's in town.  And though I haven't seen them in a couple of weeks, we have a few more subs on the list, who may even become a team next semester.  Scott Simpson, Kristin Balles, & Mike Koehler will soon become the Pink Posse.  Kevin Wheeler will not be able to join us the rest of the year.  It's a long drive from Ogunquit just to bowl!  But be sure and say hello whenever you're in O-town.  Please welcome all of the new bowlers when you get a chance.   

THE REST OF IT

Don't forget about our website, which is http://home.comcast.net/~MerrimackGNL/.  Thanks to all of you bowlers who attended the NHGMC shows over the last 2 weekends.  It's always nice to see friendly faces in the crowd!  Open auditions for the chorus will be January 8th & 15th.  Please see Tim for details if you're interested.
