I would like to take this opportunity to wish a Happy
Valentine’s Day to all the Ladies of the Builders Tee Club Family. No excuses
guys, buy that special someone something nice!
Mike Kent had his fourth consecutive 700+ series and
his Jan Michaels team continued to dominate the A division taking 5 points from
Febel Bros. and increasing their lead to 8 points over Febel Bros. and Smoky’s
Bandits.
In the B division, Bob Chudy led the way with a 278,
786 hdcp, crushing Bob Kieffer and his Mama Vesuvio crew for a 7 point sweep and
vaulting them in to a three way tie at the top with Central Scale and Tri Star,
who split 4&3 for the second week in a row to create the log jam at the top.
The night though belonged to Gary Foster, with his 278,
766 hdcp series. Foster holds 14 of the top 25 spots in the Brosius Doubles.
Hats off to Mike, Bob, and Gary on their great bowling!!!!

BUILDERS TEE CLUB NEEDS YOUR SUPPORT!!!!!!!!!
******BE A ROSTER BOOK SPONSOR******
Here we are at the start of another year, the 85th year
in the clubs history. It’s time to begin compiling the Roster Book for 2012. As
you know, the book includes ADS taken out by businesses owned or operated by
members of the Club or by businesses that the club patronizes. The monies
generated by these ads cover the costs of developing, printing and distributing
the Roster Books. The cut-off date is March 15th. Don’t be late!!!!!!
We again appeal to those of you who have not previously
taken an ad. You who own, operate, direct or control a company or are in a
position to solicit an ad from the company for which you work, are being asked
to consider taking an ad in this year's special edition. We also appeal to the
various business enterprises, that the Builders Tee Club patronizes, to become a
sponsor of the Roster Book. Your ad will be seen by all B.T.C. members, giving
them a chance to use your services when needed. The cost is $100 for a full-page
ad and $60 for a half-page ad. What a bargain!!!
Please send your checks and ad layouts (business cards
or ??? ), if new or changed from last year, to the Treasurer, SCOTT CARTER, as
soon as possible.
Jerry Maciejewski at 815-464-5958 or
jerdeemac@yahoo.com can be contacted for any help you may need with your ad.
We can then proceed with the development of the 2012 Builders Tee Club Roster
Book. Your sponsorship, cooperation and support will be greatly appreciated by
all of the BTC membership in this our 85th year.

book. Your 2012 Builders Tee Club Dues are past due as of January 31st. Please
send your payment ASAP to remain an active member.
Super Bowl Tidbits:
In Manhattan, the New York Giants had their own ticker
tape parade. They don't use much ticker tape on Wall Street anymore. Stock
brokers just toss government bailout money from the windows.
Madonna came into the Super Bowl halftime show carried
by muscle-bound men. It’s a good thing she wasn’t carried in by the Patriots,
because they would have dropped her.

Joke of the Week
Fishing Trip
Gorman and Gil went on a fishing
trip. They had all the equipment: the reels, the rods, bait, wading boots,
rowing boat, the car and even a log cabin in the woods. No expense was spared
for their yearly expedition.
On the first day they went fishing they
didn't catch a thing. The same thing happened on the second day, and on the
third day. It continued like this until finally, on the last day of their
vacation, Gorman caught a fish.
As they're driving home they're really
depressed. Gil turns to his friend, Gorman, and says, "Do you realize that that
one fish we caught cost us $1200?"
Gorman replies with a smile, "It's a
good thing we didn't catch any more!"
GOLFER AT THE DENTIST
A man and his wife walked into a dentist's office. The
man said to the dentist, "Doc, I'm in one heck of a hurry I have two buddies
sitting out in my car waiting for us to go play golf, so forget about the
Anesthetic, I don't have time for the gums to get numb. I just want you to pull
the tooth, and be done with it! We have a 10:00 AM tee time at the best golf
course in town and its 9:30 already... I don't have time to wait for the
anesthetic to work!'
The dentist thought to himself, "My goodness, this is
surely a very Brave man asking to have his tooth pulled without using anything
to kill the pain." So the dentist asks him, "Which tooth is it sir?"
The man turned to his wife and said, "Open your mouth
Honey, and show him........"
Your Treasurer,
Scott Carter
My wife and I went back to the hotel where we spent our
wedding night; only this time I stayed in the bathroom and cried.
Indecision may or may
not be my problem.

Even with quite a few bowlers on vacation, we still
managed over 135 entries in the Brosius Doubles. The leaders will appear later
in the newsletter. However, probably among the leaders will be Gary Foster who
led the scoring with a 709 scratch series (766 handicap). Mike Kent topped 700
for the third straight week with a 704. The other contenders for the Brosius
with the top three handicap series are Bob Chudy (786), Ron Orent (750), and Don
Neybert (746). That is, of course, if any of their partners bowled well. As far
as the division races go, Jan Michaels extended their lead to 6 points in the
"A" division. But since they already won the first half, there are 4 teams
within 2 points of second and a roll-off spot. In the "B" division, there is now
a three way tie for first with Central Scale, Tri-Star and Darvin Furniture. All
sponsor fees have now been paid. The bowling Calcutta is scheduled for
March 20th.
