The Strike N Spare II Nov. 30th event has been rescheduled. We are pushing the finale back to June 7th and making the May 31st event at Strike N Spare II. Unfortuntately, schedules on both ends were pretty booked so this is the resolution we came up with. If you were signed up for the Nov. 30th event, please go on isyl.org and make your reservation for the May 31st event so that I know you still want your spot. Then I will open it up to everyone else. I will get the entry forms updated on line to reflect the change. Thanks for everyones understanding. Going forward....pray for no other weather issues. Patti
