NOTICE:
Wow, this month is flying fast... The next Mixed Doubles pool games are the 27th of February... Some of the players have told me already that they will be gone soon -- so will have to find more players... In fact, one pool player told me he had to leave the park right after the banquet on March 9th. Nothing like cutting it close... It has been a lot of fun and I have heard many excuses as to why the ball just doesn't go in the pocket and have probably made the same excuses myself... One comment one of our players makes is he uses the word "Focus" and to always take "THE DUCK"... that duck is probably hanging halfway into the pocket... Won't mention names at this time...
Tickets for the Pool Hall Banquet to be held on March 9th
may be purchased at the activity office in the Main Hall.
South door entry only. $10 each
All indoor activities were canceled until Saturday, 2/26/2022 because of too many positive Covid tests and too many infected individuals, and exposed individuals ignoring protocols.

We still had our Super Bowl Mixed doubles pool games... It was another fun time... Had 11 teams sign up and we played 10 games... We were done playing by 3:00 and we all went back home to watch the Super Bowl... Probably would have been a better game if at least one of the teams were closer to home teams... But it was a good game anyway... Some of the comments today were the following--- should have eaten more than two church cookies before I try to play pool----- another one is that pool is strictly a game of luck.....aren't you done playing pool yet? Today was a struggle---- fear is the problem -- once things start going bad they just keep going...... I cannot remember exactly who all said these comments but I heard them all...and made notes...
Now down to the business----- teams winning seven games were Barb Brooker & Kinley Paulson and team Barb Utech & Don Riley and team Arja Titto & Butch Brooker..----- Team Donna Hanke & Greg Dowhaniuk won six games... Teams Mel Hokkala & Bob Nance and team Bev McEnaney & Paul Kelleher and team Barb Jacobson & Loren Evans won five games,,,
The sign-up sheet is up for next Sunday --- come join us in fun..... PHB Bev McEnaney

2022 Spring Missions Report
Blessings To You is the name of the Trophy Gardens RV Resort church mission effort. It is open to everyone in our park who would like to be involved. If you would like to participate, contact Pastor Randy Parks at Lot #616 on Classic.
This program began in January of 2022 as a means of continuing previous efforts to share a Christian ministry to people in Alamo, the Rio Grande Valley, and across the river into Mexico.
The $2,700.00 to be distributed in this report does not include the $1,670.00 raised during the February 2022 Potato Bake. That money will be distributed during the Thanksgiving and Christmas seasons of 2022.
As part of the mission ministry of Trophy Garden International Fellowship, the church board has voted to support five specific ministries for the 2022 spring season.
1-CHILDRENS HAVEN INTERNATIONAL
Children's Haven International provides home and refuge to over 50 needy children from broken, abusive, or impoverished families in Reynosa. The children usually range in age from 1 to 18.
During the Sunday morning service, February 20, 2022, Betsy Chacon from Children's Haven will be making a video presentation regarding their ministry. The church will be presenting a check for $1,000.00 to the ministry.
2-WOMEN TOGETHER / Mujeres Unidas
Women Together is a non-profit organization established in 1978 to provide a safe haven to victims of family violence and their children. The local office is in McAllen, Texas.
During the Sunday morning service, March 13, 2022, Nelda Hernandez will be at church to discuss the ministry provided by their organization. The church will be presenting a check for $500.00 to the ministry.
3-GIDEONS INTERNATIONAL
Gideons International was founded in 1899 in Janesville, Wisconsin. Gideon members currently distribute over 70 million Bibles annually, and on average, more than two copies of the Bible per second.
Sunday, February 27, 2022, LeRoy Spilde will share the mission of Gideons during our church service. The church will be presenting a check for $200.00 to the ministry.
4-ALAMO COMMUNITY CHURCHÂ SENIORS FOOD DISTRIBUTION
900 E. Bowie Ave, Alamo Texas

During the Sunday morning service, March 6, 2022, Jania Cardenas Nava will share a video presentation regarding the ministry of this Hispanic fellowship. The church will be presenting a check of $500.00 to this ministry
Hoss Collar results for Monday, February 7th, were as follows: It was a very brisk evening but 25 hardy and physically fit participants were up to the challenge. Jim Voth came in 1st Place with 690 points; Gary DeRosier came in 2nd Place with 630 points and Karl Pettersen came in 3rd Place with 612 points.
Hoss Collar results for Wednesday, February 9th were as follows: It was an absolutely beautiful night with just a small, but a little bit chilly breeze hanging around court #6. There were 41 of us playing and we had lots of excitement when a cottontail rabbit decided to race across Titleist and with a flying leap he jumped onto court #6 and then raced across courts 7, 8, 9, and 10 all while we were yelling and the discs were flying. He wasn’t hit and he ran around between the shuffleboard shack and the Sunrise Room and out of sight. His little heart was probably pumping pretty fast. Maybe he was late for dinner, who knows. Dale Husted won 1st Place with 585 points; Marlys Timm won 2nd Place with 569 points and Larry Clintsman won 3rd Place with 561 points. Come and play on Monday and Wednesday evenings; we start at 6:30PM. Bring a one-dollar bill (no change please) and be ready to have some fun. Hoss Collar is very easy to learn, it takes about 5 seconds and you are playing like a pro. We also play regular Shuffleboard on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings at 9:00AM. This is easy to play as well. Bring $.30 and be ready to have a lot of fun, with mild exercise and Vitamin D thrown in. All games are random draws so you never know who you’ll be playing with or against.
Lots of thanks go to those guys who came and cleaned the courts Thursday afternoon, they sure needed it. Karl Petersen, Larry Clintsman, Gary DeRosier, Brent McKee, Jim Voth, Dan Lang, and Les McKinney. I hope I didn’t leave anyone out. The courts were really nice to play on Friday morning.

What can I say about another fun day in the pool hall when the Mixed Doubles teams were showing off their skills... Well some of them were???? The day started out with some of the teams that signed up who couldn't make it and then some filled in for others... But we got it all straight and we played nine games. At least we were inside and not outside in the cool fresh air... That is one of the perks of playing pool - always out of the weather. One of the comments one of our lady players said before we even drew for partners "I'm not even going to make the paper today" which she was referring to Bits & Pieces... Guess you were wrong Lynn as you did make the news. We also talked about the Super Bowl and they decided to go ahead with our weekly Mixed Doubles because the Super Bowl will be on later in the day and the pool playing would be done by the time the Super Bowl starts...
We had ten teams today with each team playing nine games... Two teams won seven games and they are Bev McEnaney & Paul Kelleher and team Arja Titto & Lorne Evans... Team Lynn LaFarve & Bob Nance won six games. Team Barb Utech & Butch Brooker won five games.
It was a fun Sunday afternoon and playing pool kept us out of our lazy boys... The sign-up sheet is up for next Sunday, February 13th. start time is 1:00 -- come to join in on a fun time.... PHB Bev McEnaney

We had 6 teams for trivia Tuesday and that is a high for the season so far. There were quite a few new people and we did indeed have a very good time. Renie was under the weather so Butch filled in and we kept him running. We may even grow a bit for next Tuesday night because some of the people were new and plan to bring more folks with them next week. The more the merrier!

So here we are again.... another Sunday at the pool hall and enjoying the Mixed Doubles games. We only have about 48 days till the first day of Spring... I think this awful cool weather has affected our playing ability --- I have to have that excuse.. When I got to the pool hall there was a player there that told me his wife was under the weather and he had called other players and not one could make it... So the timing just happened to be right and Donna & Elmer H. rode by on their bikes -- there was our player... Thanks, Donna for filling in, and thanks Elmer for agreeing to let her help us out... So I am warning you that there are a lot of windows in the pool hall so you cannot get by without being seen... And now back to business...
We had only 8 teams that played today and we each played seven games. There was one team that won 6 of the seven played and that was Arja Titto & Butch Brooker... Two of the teams won 5 of their games and they are Janet Yeley & Alex Stinson and team Barb Brooker and Paul Kelleher and one team won 4 of their games and this was team Bev McEnaney & Greg Donhaniuk.. I might add for what it is worth my partner and I beat the number one team.... go figure....and now to step up and add that we got beat by the team that won the least games..... again go figure... Through all of this we had a good time and even had cookies --- come join in on the fun --- The sign-up sheet is up for next Sunday...
