PRESIDENTS MESSAGE:

 

Spring is just around the corner and many of our fall and winter activities have come to an end. I would like to thank: Sarah Keller and the hard working fish fry crews, Rod Johnson and John Mickelini and all of the volunteers that helped with another successful youth basketball season, Mike Hohman and all of his helpers that make Saturday mornings enjoyable for all of our youth bowlers, Michelle Schmidt for all of her efforts with women’s volleyball.

 

Some of you may not realize that your club was a victim of the flooding that crippled parts of our city last month. Thanks to the hard work of Tim Reed and all of his volunteers the damage was minimal.

 

It was brought to the attention of the board that the language in the bar area has become unacceptable. This is a family club, please conduct yourselves appropriately.  Please contact Mark Guitard with nominations for the upcoming election.

 

I was working in Syracuse, New York in early March and paid a visit to Syracuse Turners. I could only hope that we would make an out of town stranger as welcome as they made me.

See you at the club

Jim Markland
