•For many years, Griff's, now known as the Faultline, served as the drop-off location for weekly score sheets. Every Tuesday night during the season, the Statistician would travel to Griff's to receive telephone calls from each Captain with the results of the matches. Griff's graciously permitted the League to use their main telephone line to receive these calls until the League's midnight deadline.
••John Jones was given a $50.00 check by President Michael Pfannenstiel at the Awards Banquet held at the Lodge. This was not a Special Recognition Award. It was an acknowledgement of his contributions to the Election Committee over many seasons.
