Bachl/ Gealy Bring Home Gold

The last week in October was the time for the Charlotte Regional Tournament.  Several of our players were excited to attend to gain Gold points toward earning their Life Master level.  Both Judy Gealy and Carol Bachl earned 10 of their required 25.  They hope to gain the rest by the end of next year.  Good luck to all who are working toward Life Master.

Our Christmas Party for both of the Salisbury Clubs is scheduled for December 7^th at the old Holiday Inn.  The room rental is paid for by club funds to reduce the per person cost. More specific details are to come.  Please plan to join us. This party is almost here.  What happened to 2016?
