Gentlemen of the BTC

January 26, 2012 

 

We're into week two of the second half and in the A Division Jan Michaels is on top closely followed by Smokey’s Bandits (might be in first if not for the peanut shells), and in the B Division its Tri Star and Central Scale tied with twelve points each. A great accomplishment for Central Scale as it took them six weeks to get to the twelve point mark in the first half.   

Some of the top scores this week on the scratch side, Mike Kent 279, 731, Gary Klonowski 248, 709, Alfie Cohn 255, 697 (not bad for 85) and Terry Samoska 257, 681. On the handicap side Dave Sullivan 274, 769, Gene Banas 264, 744, Gary Foster 268, 737, Gil Maynard 263, 718 and Frank Salapatek 253, 709.

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.

Jerry Maciejewski, Roster Book Chairman

Dues Reminder

Good News! As of January 25th, almost 70% of our members have paid their 2012 BTC dues. I would like to encourage the remaining 30% to send your dues as soon as possible and please send the completed yellow sheet along also( no need to cut it in half), as it helps Jerry Maciejewski in filling out the roster book. Your 2012 Builders Tee Club Dues are payable by January 31st. Please send your payment by the due date to remain an active member and avoid a late fee.

 

UPCOMING EVENTS

 

The Brosius Doubles tournament will be held on February 7th and 14th.  One of the great events of the Builders Tee Club, for a mere $10 per partner you get two weeks of thrilling competition and a chance to win some great prizes. You don’t have to be a top bowler to win this tournament. Two years back, Arnie Carlstrom and Ron Miller cleaned up, who like myself, have their bowling averages firmly planted in the bottom third of the list. So everyone has a chance to win, but it’s like the lottery - you can’t win if don’t play.

Bowling Calcutta coming to a bowling alley near you March 2012.

St Pats Dinner March 13th Mama Vesuvio's  Rte. 83 and Ridgeland Avenue in Palos Heights. 6:30 PM.

 SICK AND VIGIL

Please keep in your thoughts and prayers, Judie Sujka, the real "Ace" of their family, as she battles a severe case of COPD.

Please send any news to my attention at carter208@gmail.com or call 773-406-4155 to insure timely updates for the newsletter.

Joke of the Week

A man was having an affair with an Italian woman.  One night, she confided in him that she was pregnant.

 

 Not wanting to ruin his reputation or his marriage, he paid her a large sum of money if she would go to Italy to secretly have the child. If she stayed in Italy to raise the child, he would also provide child support until the child turned 18. She agreed, but asked how he would know when the baby was born. To keep it discrete, he told her to simply mail him a post card, and write ‘Spaghetti’ on the back. He would then arrange for the child support payments to begin. One day, about 9 months later, he came home to his confused wife.

 

"Honey," she said, "You received a very strange post card today.

 

''Oh, just give it to me and I'll explain it later," he said. The wife obeyed and watched as her husband read the card, turned white, and fainted. On the card was written: "Spaghetti, Spaghetti, Spaghetti, Spaghetti, Spaghetti. Three with meatballs, two without.  Send extra sauce!!!"

Happy Birthday  1/3 David Sullivan, 1/4 Adam Griffiths, 1/6 Bob Welch, 1/8 James Mc Dermott # 65, 1/10 Bill Sawyer, 1/13 Wayne Hutchinson, 1/14 Mike Tomkins, 1/15 Ron Miller, 1/17 Paul Sowa, 1/18 Andy Zilis #50, 1/21 Frank Burrichter, 1/22 Chet Siniawski #60, 1/23 Dave Kappel #65,1/24 Don Berry & Joe Wilda #70, 1/25 Dick Kamin #70 & Jim Reichenberger, 1/26 Bob Craig #80.

TENNIS REPORT - Al Baldermann

Great week for tennis – 14 players; some excellent matches.

It was good to see Pat Joyce, Pat Sullivan, Don Berry and Tom Dombro come out for drinks, dinner and to celebrate Bob Craig’s 80th and Don Berry’s 66th.

 

13 stalwart BTC members and tennis players went for dinner at the Homewood train station.  The food was very good.  Chuck DiNolfo must stop picking on big guys sitting next to our group.

 

Thanks to Ed Wood for keeping the matches in order.

BOWLING REPORT

Finally, a lefty led the scoring. Mike Kent had the high game and series of the day with 279 and 731. Gary Klonowski was second with 709. The senior pro, Alfie Cohn, came close to 700 with a 697 series. As far as the team battles go, there were a lot of 7-0 sweeps this week. And much to the surprise of Dan Woodward, the "B" division was 22 and 6 against the "A" division this week. Sponsor fee update - 15 paid, 1 to go.
