WELCOME TO THE L.A. POOL LEAGUE

Dear Members of the LA Pool League,

Welcome to the start of a new season, Spring 2014 (Season 81).

The schedule for the new season will be both emailed to each of you as well as posted on the homepage of our website www.LAPL8Ball.org.

I would like to announce the addition of a new Sponsor Bar called the Melgard. The Melgard is located on Melrose at Gardner. Street parking is available on Sierra Bonita with no permit required. Otherwise there is metered parking on Melrose until 8 pm. I am sure everyone will enjoy the new venue as they serve food along with a great variety of beer and wine.

Please note that our first fundraiser is scheduled this coming Sunday, January 26 (before the start of the season). We will be holding the Greased Lightning at the Eagle with sign up @ 12:00 and play starting @ 1:00 pm.

On behalf of the entire Board of Governors and the league at large we hope to see you this Sunday.

All the best for a great season!

Brad Camac
President LAPL
