We enjoyed a very competitive pairs tournament this past Saturday and Sunday, June 16th and 17th, under cloudy skies with cool, windy weather. Fortunately the rain held off.
After four games we had 2 teams with 3 wins and 1 tie and 3 teams with 3 wins and 1 loss.
When all the plus points had been counted to determine the final result it came out that Its Nishikawa and Lew Storm were the winners with Rand Coburn and Rodger Green as runners up. Third place went to Richard Krueger and Nancy Nishikawa.

Nine bowlers competed for the Howard Cox Trophy on Saturday, August 26th in bright sunny weather. After some very competitive bowling, Howard Syder emerged as the winner with 68 points and Bert Haws was runner up with 58 points.
Today saw the first Brunch-n-Bowls of the 2006 season. Thanks to everyone who came out to eat, hang out and bowl.
Remaining dates in 2006 are:
Sunday, August 6
Sunday, August 27
Sunday, Sept. 10
We're expecting B-n-B to be more popular this year due to the nice mention in the Seattle Magazine article a few months ago.
Its Nishikawa took first place in the 2006 Jefferson Park Men's Singles Tournament. Second place went to Richard Broad who edged out David Chapman by 1 plus-point.
The Seattle Parks Board voted 4-1 to NOT pursue lighted fields on the southern reservoir portion of Jefferson Park (directly northwest of the JPLBC Clubhouse). The Parks Board commissioners mentioned time and again the feedback they had received from neighbors and park advocates.
So it looks like the views are safe for everyone's enjoyment for years to come. Thank you to any members who voiced their opinion about this issue to the Parks Board. And a special thanks to Willie for passing this info on.
If you pick up this month's (May 06') issue of Seattle Magazine you'll find that our very own Brunch and Bowls makes a very short list of Seattle's "Funky Brunch" opportunities. The article finds us in very good company along with brunch spots The Alibi Room and Tom Douglas' Lola.
Thanks to Kat and Willie for coming up with and instituting the idea last year. By all acounts it was a success with available spots for brunch dates filling up quickly. We believe it also accounted for a few new members as well. We'll be continuing the brunches this summer.
