Going Dutch
The Dutch Invitation Open in Haarlem, The Netherlands women's pairs wrapped up this week with Janice Bell and Kim Heiser taking third and a bronze medal. Richard and Todd finished four in men's pairs just out of the silverware, unfortunately.
Team USA 3 (Todd Wagers, Janice Bell, Kim Heiser, Richard Broad) took Silver in the rinks! It was nip and tuck up to the last game and team USA3 needed to win and the Scots needed to stumble. Team USA3 won, and Scotland (almost, but) did not stumble. Canada took third.
Overall, USA3 won a bronze metal, bringing the silverware count to 3. Another great showing by the Jeffies. Congratulations!
Women's pairs -- bronze

Opening Day 2012
A great turnout for the Opening Day Feista! Brand new members and long-timers shared the greens and warmed in the afternoon sun on Cinco de Mayo 2012.
Hats off to Terri Turner & Jenny Mears for throwing a great Fiesta! Bravo to Chris Davis for rounding us up for the traditional first roll and putting a silly spin on the game of bowls. Thanks to all the cooks, cleaners, doers, and shakers who helped make this a festive day.
Congratulations to Heather DeRosier & Bill Gilroy for heating up the salsathon competition and taking first and second place.
Brian Nichols won the annual "closest to the ditch" roll call, and we have Becky Barnett to thank for supplying pinata bowls for the firing squad.

Club Games & Spring Meeting
Saturday, April 7
Club Games
Chris and Paul are working on a new game... a hybrid of sorts with elements of yardstick, short jack, and regular bowls. Come on out and give it a try. We'll also leave some time for straight ahead old fashioned no frills bowls. Don't look now, but it might actually be a nice day!
First bowl rolls at 10 AM so arriving a bit earlier than that would be good. Donuts and Coffee.
JPLBC Annual Spring Meeting
The JPLBC Board is looking forward to the annual spring meeting on Saturday, April 7 at Noon. The meeting will follow club games at 10:00 am. All members are encouraged to attend.
