President’s Message...
An Up-beat Message, It Isn’t For This Month. We lost a top bowler who was, above all, a beautiful person.

Memories were shared.
Anumberoffamilymembers,friendsandClubmembersspokeaspartofthepresentation.IthoughtCandy’sremarksveryaptlyportraysthepersonHeidiwas:
“Today, we are gathered to-gether to honor our friend and teammate, Heidi Rittner. She faced the challenge of her cancer with the same coura-geous determination that she always demon-strated when competing.
Heidi had been an athlete all her life. She was voted most valuable player on her high school soccer team. After gradua-tion she traveled to Brazil and the Neth-erlands to compete with her club soccer team.
If you know Heidi, she lived and breathed sports. Her goal was to make Team USA. She achieved this goal in 2016 but sadly found out that she had cancer and was unable to make it to NAC.
She battled her disease for a year and came back strong to win the
singles competition at the SW Open in 2017. She got to travel to China to compete in Tiger Bowls and brought home silver and bronze medals along with her teammates.
Heidi will be sorely missed by all those who loved her includ-ing her many bowling partners here today. Thank you for showing her family how much she was loved by being here today.”
It was a beautiful sight.

We never know if anyone gets the correct answer to the Riddle, until now:
Steve Alessi responded – and he got it correctly!
Pat Gonzales let us know WE GOOFED. In the write up accompanying the October Photo Puzzler, we described Randy Hatfield’s most colourful participant award as being in the Aussie Pairs Tournament – it was actually a win in the Carnival Tournament.
