We have had a great month not only bowling but connection with each other via phone,
Facebook, and other social media.

Birthdays

– For April., we recognize Christine Cech 33 on the 11th, Sarah Carlile 39 on 17th, and Karley Kroshaben 38 on the 29th.

Our Members

It was good to have back Nick and Christine (lives in Renton now). We missed seeing some of our local long-time members today like Sean, Serena, Matt, Jeremey, Andy, Meghan, Brett, and Nathan. Other members have moved farther away such at Corey to Kent, Reed to Cle Elum, and Karley to Federal Way.

Service Projects

The May meeting is too late for Mother’s Day cards but there will be blank cards and stuff to make Father’s Day cards.

Certificates for those not present will be mailed to you.
