Play starts at 9:00 am. The leagues play out at Pets, spots are available. More information next month.

Catch the NASCAR races every week and don’t forget March Madness. It’s NCAA basketball tourney time. We will be looking at getting a bracket set up for the tournament. The games will be shown on our big screen TV’s in our Social Quarters. Plenty of screens to catch the game you want to see. There will be a party in the Social Quarters for the finals, Gov Joe Matteucci will host.

The Brewers, Cubs and White Sox all open their seasons at the end of March. The talented Brew Crew will be defending their division title, no doubt the Cubs will be right there too. As for the Sox, not so much, but they are showing some potential.

Catch the spring training action leading up to the regular season on our TV’s in the Social Quarters. We are entered in the Brewers tavern of the game, keep an eye out during the broadcasts for our selection.

Looking out the window, the snow is piled high as an elephants’ eye, but it will be gone and outside activities will start. So far, softball, BAGGO and horseshoes are planned. We have lots of time and room for more events. See AD Rich Smart or any board members with your ideas. An evening golf league is one activity that needs a chairperson.

Mooseheart, our school in Batavia, Ill. and our main benefactor of our Member’s generosity, will be dropping their football program. Reasons given mainly being a very small school and injury concerns. More emphasis will be placed on Soccer. Micheal Lowe, our lodge sponsored child, playing basketball, scored his 1,000th point for Mooseheart.

Notes: It’s been a cold and snowy Wisconsin winter… AD Rich Smart, Mark Schneider, Brian Mifflin and others put in lots of volunteer time to clear our parking lots and sidewalks. Take heart, it’s almost over.

Thanks Leon Rosko; sports chairman
