Heard Around, Happened Around, or Just Plain Made Up Info from Around the Clubhouse: The League secretary disavows any knowledge of erroneous or false information in this section of the newsletter.  With the noise in the clubhouse and my hearing deficiency who knows for sure what is being said.  If there is something you wish to complain about see the gripe committee head: Mr. Bill Zachritz.  He will take any issues to the men’s room where he will discuss it with the Man-in-the-Mirror.  Please do not anticipate any resolution soon or in the future.
