Art on our doorstep...

The PALBC Art and Wine Social Returns

Art and Wine Social The green will be closed in
May but our social calendar is still full. Join us on May 12 from 3:00 pm until 7:00 pm as we turn the club house into an art gallery.

We know that you will enjoy the work of our many talented artists, crafters, and musicians while you sip a little wine and nibble on hors d’oeuvres.

With a show in May instead of the February date we had last year, we will have a beautiful Saturday afternoon of art, food, wine, and conversation.

For art questions contact David Hale. If you’d like to play contact Ken Torke.

$$$$ The PALBC’S LUCKY MONDAY LEAGUE BOWLING $$$$

This Lucky Bowling is opened to all PALBC members, of all skill levels.

The Lucky Monday draw will begin, on Monday, April 2nd and ends Monday, April 30th.

The entry fee will be $3.00 for each player, regardless of skill level.

The Draw will be at 5:30pm

(Arrive or call by 5:15pm, so the Draw can be done in a timely fashion).

The format will be primarily "Pairs" matches. With "Triples" and a possible "Cutthroat" game if the players count can't be balanced, any other way. All games will be 12 ends and may go up to 14 ends as longer days approach.

Winners Payout: 100% of the entry fees will be divided with the winning teams. Pair Teams wins $12.00; Triple Teams wins $18.00. Ties will divide the winnings based on the amount of players on the tied teams. A “Cutthroat” of three players’ will be considered three teams; one winner is awarded $9.00 unless it’s a tie. All losing teams receive a hand shake at the end of the game.

There are no individual points accumulated in Lucky Monday Bowling. Each week will be different; the winnings will be based on the amount of players participating each week.

If there is continuous rain throughout the day of the Monday Bowling, the games will be cancelled. If a situation arises while playing the Monday Bowling that forces us to stop playing, all entry fees will be returned to the player’s who paid.

PLEASE NOTE: The continuation of the Lucky Monday Bowling will be based on participation by its Members. If Members show interest in this format, then this Monday Bowling will continue when the Green reopens in June.

A Spaghetti dinner will be served for those interested immediately following the end of bowling. The menu will be Spaghetti with meatballs on the side, salad, and Garlic bread. There will be a charge of $4.00. Included for those attending dinner, there will be a raffle with Lucky Money. You must attend to win. Please sign-up for bowling and/or dinner at the Club, located on the bulletin board.

Hope to see you on your available Mondays.
