PLEA FOR HELP!!
After 15 years of doing the Spirit, I REALLY need to hang up my computer and let someone else put a new twist into the Spirit. If you would be willing to take care of putting together the Spirit once a month for the months of September through June, please let me know. I just have too many other obligations at this time and it’s also time for some new “blood” to give this newsletter a fresh new look! You can contact me at:
judybacon@hotmail.com or call me at 315-575-1677 for any questions you may have.
Congratulations to Austin O’Hara, our 2022 Stan Sutor Masters Champion!
Austin fought off 3 contenders to take the title this year! In our final four matches, he first defeated Ryan Gallardo, then went on to beat Jenn Williams and lastly, he had to bowl against Don Schmidt Jr., the only unbeaten bowler in the final four. Austin beat Don in the first match and then hung on to beat Don Jr. for the title. Congratulations to Don Schmidt Jr as well as Jenn Williams & Ryan Gallardo for some great bowling and a great afternoon at the club. Note: It was great to see so many of our new members bowl in the Masters tournament this year!
