Bowling? Why not!!! Followed by a Member's BBQ
Our members, Anthony & Wanda Matranga, have graciously opened their doors to the Viper Club for a BBQ - but suggested we start with something a little out of the ordinary - a bowling competition (maybe convertibles vs. coupes - maybe its just for fun). Anthony & Wanda (the very same members that print the SoCal Club's Review) would like to invite the club down to their neck of the woods. First lunch along the way, then bowling at Fantasy Springs Resort and Casino in Indio, followed by a BBQ at Anthony's home in Palm Desert.
We'll be meeting at the various meeting points then head east. In Rancho Mirage, we'll stop for lunch at Applebee's where we'll meet up with Anthony and others. Then head to Fantasy Lanes.
If you're interested in staying in the area for the night, Palm Desert has a Marriott Courtyard - and Palm Springs has just about everything.

Baxters plan to attend.
I need to practice a little though. ;D
Yeah,
I haven't bowled since 6th grade.
Maybe we can do a team competition, convertibles vs. coupes or ?
Dan
It seems to me that you are confused .... is that cross dressing?
Are you convertable or coupe?
Not sure, depends on the weather. 8)
Hmmmmmmmm I see some golf in the morning bowling later. I might even get the Mrs. to attend!
Vert here.
Lance & Lori will be there.
Hey Newport, I'll golf with you if I can transpose my golf score for my bowling score ;D
Lance,
Is that a perfect game ..... 300?
Hey, I'm not that BAD.....maybe 280 :P
I'm just going to try and miss my ankle. 8)
Sounds great, count me in! 8)
I haven't been in a safe distance of a bowling ball in over twenty years. ;D
Could be comical, could be dangerous..... ???
Guess nobody wants me on their "team" now! ::)
Count Steph and a guest in.
Dave & Arlene Maybe ???

Ruth and Nino will try this bowling thing. I'm glad to see some others have not been bowling for some time. I might need some help with scoring. How many points do you get for a gutter ball?
Nino ^7
The same that I'll get for my gutter balls...
Cathy needs practice! <6
We will be in town then (Outdoor Resorts-Indio) and will plan on visiting.
Bowling, will probably watch. Look forward to seeing everyone.

This was a VCA Members only event hosted by Anthony and Wanda in Palm Desert.
It was a great day of driving, eating, bowling, more eating and best of all visiting with club members at the spectacular 5 star Matranga Tuscan Villa.
