  November President’s Message 

  If you have turned on a TV in the past month or so then chances are good you are just about tired of all the political ads. Well I have good news for you, they are all about to go away. This Tuesday is not just another Tri-V meeting day followed by bowling, it is the single most important day in America. Make sure to get to the polls and cast your vote (like so many dead Floridians). If you haven’t yet found property in Canada, you are really running out of time.

  Last month we had the October stag event at Drakshire Lanes in Farmington. There was dinner, pool, beer, and poker. Surprisingly there was no bowling (which made it more enjoyable). This weekend the November edition of marbles will be going down. Followed by the November social next weekend. I believe there may be pinochle in there somewhere too. November is quite the busy month.

  At the meeting next week I will hand out the first draft of the committee assignments. If there is a committee you know you cannot serve on please let me know; especially if you will not be at the meeting. Committee assignments will be posted to the website once they are finalized.

  October President’s Message 

  October is upon us. The baseball season is winding down and the playoffs will be starting next week. Hopefully we will have a few more Tiger games to watch after this weekend. I’m not quite ready to let go. I’m also not quite ready to tune in to the Lions.

  This month we will begin both marbles and pinochle leagues and we will have our October stag event. Many of us are once again bowling on Tuesday nights at Drakeshire. October is a busy month of getting together so enjoy those times spent with friends and TriV family.

  Finally, I’d like to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who was there as we laid to rest my grandfather. It was nice to hear stories and share memories of a life well lived. He will be missed, but those memories will live on.

  September President’s Message 

  My alarm woke me up this morning. For most people that may not seem like a big deal, but having to actually wake up to an alarm at 6 AM after 12 weeks of being woken up by a 7 year old looking for breakfast is a harsh transition back to reality. Welcome to September and back to school.

  The final Tri-V events of the summer were held in the last two weeks of August. The men went up north for the final golf weekend where, as usual, nothing much happened. The weather did not cooperate for us, but we were able to get three rounds of golf in. Some groups came in significantly more drenched than others. We all celebrated Jay’s hole in one and his golf league championship. He certainly had a great year of golf. The steak roast was held the following weekend at Rotary park in Livonia. I could not attend, but I assume steak was roasted.

  We were all saddened to hear about the passing of both Art Trachsel and Blondie Forsythe. They will be missed by all who were privileged enough to know them.

  We will begin our monthly club meetings in September. We will meet on Tuesday, September 13th at Drakeshire Lanes at 6:00. Please try to attend if possible. If you cannot attend, contact one of the officers to let them know you will not be there.
