During the past month,
Larry Hunt-
ing
was the only player to roll a 5-point
frame.
A Social League was completed last
month, and was deemed to be a suc-
cess by those who participated. Teams
were made up of couples who competed
each week against other couples. Play
times during the week were set by mu-
tual agreement of the teams, with some
games played in the evening.

Become a member of one of Sun City’s
earliest chartered clubs. The Aviation
Club began when two retired pilots
met for coffee and conversation at the
old Legacy Hills cafe. Aviation brings
folks together, so they can recall and
reminisce about days when they and
their friends and colleagues were more
actively involved in the industry. All
are invited to visit; membership is not
limited to pilots, but to anyone with an
interest in aircraft, aviation history or
the aviation community. Dues are $12
a year.
Members meet on the second Saturday of
each month at 8:30 a.m. for a social time
of coffee and donut holes in the Atrium
of the Activities Center.
