*********************************************************** NEWS

From the
desk of Phil
Phil
LaPorte has a new e-mail address: phil@wibowl.com
please change your records accordingly.
We would
like to update you on the events --- The Senior Tournament ended on the
26th of April and checks were mailed out to the team captains on the 20th
of May. If you don't hear from your team captain soon - please
contact.
The
final prize listing is now on the leader page. Checks are in the
mail - they were sent out on June12th. Look for them and be sure to
distribute to your team members.
Two reasons
for the delay in the prize fund -
1.
Bowlers be aware of rule 319 - reporting of prize winnings - all persons
winning $600 or more - are required to submit this information prior to
bowling. It should include money won and scores bowled.
Failure to do so could disqualify the bowler.
2.
Some bowlers do not adhere to the 15 pin rule - if at the time of bowling
you are 15 pins higher than last year - you MUST use your current average.
If you
have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us at
262-532-0623.
Congratulations
to the winners of the raffle prizes - Car, Todd Bell, Boscobel; 32"
TV, Craig Sinkula, Two Rivers; 26" TV, Ken Checkai, Brookfield;
Packer Weekend, Pete Stensen.

Bowler


When Rudy Lajoie traveled from Superior to bowl in the
Senior Tournament - he didn't know he would be selected as
"Joe Bowler". With the help of Vice President Duke
Reim and Director Gene Schrank of the WSBA - they selected the
bowler number and then the lane number - and Rudy won the
honors. He bowls 2 afternoons a week - enjoys cooking and
has been married for 46 years. He got a strike to start the
tournament out. Congratulations Rudy!! |
