Gentlemen of the BTC

November 13, 2025

It was a good afternoon for bowling. Lots of good scores out there and my team won all three games. Most of the high scores were from two teams. Handicap scores were led by Roberts 293, Kleinpaste 266 in the first game. Second game Dinga 266, Gio 265. Third game was Lewis 270, Cahill 254. In the double pot was Roberts and Ollenburger 570 in the first game, 2nd game was Ollenburger and Kleinpaste 513, and the third game was Cahill and Gio 506 and R. Samoska and Conway 477. Blind doubles saw Gio and Ollenburger 539, Samoska Jr. and Ollenburger 507, and Dinga and Stewart 507. The last game pot Cahill 254, Gio 252. They finished the same way in the survivor pot.

So, I didn't do too bad as I was 5 out of 6 on ten pins making me 6 out of 7. So far much better start then last year. My buddy Waldo was also 5 of 6 on 7 pins as he is also doing much better so far.

Our next dinner is Dec. 2nd. It is our Christmas dinner at Silver Lake at 6:30pm where our officers for next year will be on the ballot. President Anthony Serritella, Vice President Lee Kaz, Treasurer Dave Jenner, and Secretary Tim MaGee. So not much to report except the Bears are 6-3, the Hawks 5-4, and the Bulls 5-4. Right now all have winning records. It's been a while since that has happened. Hopefully they can keep it going. The Bears have a big game against Minnesota this Sunday. They need to win to go to 7-3 and get a division victory. Well, that's all folks.

Your secretary,

P.S. Receive the kickoff and score a touchdown.

Tennis Report – Al Baldermann

Great day for tennis. The new format seems to be working well. Lots of good matches.

After tennis, 27 of us went for our semi-annual GIO trip. The fellowship was amazing. Everyone seemed to enjoy the evening.
