Summer 3-Wall Doubles League, Veterans Park - Play is wrapping up in the summer league, heading into the play-off round. A proposal was made by Mike Reilly to set up a second league, to start play in July. Members of the Board supported this idea, and Jim Krailler posted a sign-up form on the web. Jim Krailler proposed cancelling the second round, due to limited interest (3 responses) from members, plus the duties associated with the Caples 3-Wall tournament. The Board agreed with the proposal, and information will be posted accordingly.

ShortLine, Summer edition - Jim Krailler reports that the July issue was mailed on Monday, July 7th and included entry forms for the Caples Memorial 3-Wall Tournament and the Golf Outing.
