By: Bette Addington
–Fall Leagues start this week!
Welcome to the 2019-20 Fall bowling season. Hope you plan to join a league or two and support local bowling. If you are unsure of which league to join, just drop by on the day or night you wish to bowl about a half hour before league starts and see if there are any openings. AMF Southwest has quite a few leagues offered as well as The BLVD! Some leagues to consider:
–Tues. night, “Mexican-American Trios” at AMF Southwest Lanes, started Sept. 3rd, 6:30pm. Looking for women to fill some teams.
–Mon. night, “Monday Ladies” formerly Tuesday Ladies Handicap at AMF Southwest Lanes, starts Sept. 9th, 6:15pm (meeting first night at 5:45), openings for individuals or teams of four.
Joining a league is a great way to meet friends. All leagues are handicap which levels the field for everyone. Hope to see you on the lanes!
–Central Valley Masters Fundraiser for a Friend – Sun., Sept. 15, 8am-1pm
Central Valley Masters to the rescue! They have put together a Giant Yard Sale for a friend of many bowlers, Jennifer Lomeli, who recently lost practically everything in a house fire. For those of you that don’t remember who Jennifer is, she worked for years in the snack bar at Regency.
This yard sale will take place at 915 – 17th Street (corner of 17th & O) with an array of donated items for sale plus craft sale items, furniture, clothes, tools, shoes, toys and much more. If you have some gently-used items you would like to donate or new items, please contact John Curtis at 661/900-4559. Or, if you don’t have anything to donate, stop by and purchase something to contribute to this effort!

Special thanks/could not have done this without the help of Central Valley Masters guys—John Curtis & Ian Byers. Thanks to Chris Gregory, Donnie Applie and RJ Richardson for bowling as well. And, don’t forget to contact Danielle Looney for your very own Coffee Club t-shirt!!
NEW! NEW! Coffee Club is on Sunday mornings NOW starting soon after 12:00 noon at AMF Southwest Lanes. Cost to enter is $25 for 4 games, blind doubles draw. Optional high pots, singles, and 3-6-9. Handicapped and fun bowling with some great local bowlers! And, once a month, a No-Tap Tournament will be scheduled!!
**Strike Pot is a new game we started. It’s about purchasing raffle tickets for $1 each (max. $5 total per person). During the second game we draw one ticket and that person must bowl a strike for the cash in the pot. If a strike isn’t bowled, then that person gets $10 and the amount is rolled over. If a person misses a week or more and chooses to participate for the total, they must pay $5 per week missed; if not, they only get amount raised that day if their ticket is drawn and they bowl a strike.
NEWER! NEWER!! Danielle Looney has created Coffee Club Tee’s!! She is selling them for $20 each and they are available in a variety of colors. You can also have your name put on them (it can be placed on the front below the logo or on the back across the shoulders) for a total cost of $25. If you would like to sport one of these, send Danielle Looney a message on Facebook and you are set!
