The Low Vision Club and the Blinded Veterans Association have a bowling
league which bowls from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. on the first and third Mondays of each
month at AMF Wonder Lanes, 1948 Austin Highway. Cost is $1.25 per game,
and a total of three games are bowled. Shoes are free.
They also
need some sighted volunteers to keep score and assist club members to play.
If you can help or want to bowl yourself, call Pat Sutton at (210) 655-4708. At this time no transportation is provided. Via buses and
taxis are available.
The
Low Vision Club Game Day is the last Saturday of each month in the Alamo Room at
Luby's Cafeteria, 911 N. Main Ave, 78212. We start gathering at 9:30 a.m.
for social time. Games are from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. with a break for lunch.
There is no charge for the games, however, you must pay for your own lunch.
At the present time we play Scrabble, dominos and card games. If you do
not know how to play, we can teach you. Other games can be added if enough
people are interested.
Contact Low Vision Club member, Irma Claudio at (210) 641-8213 or e-mail
lowvisionresourcecenter@yahoo.com for more information and to sign up.

you play golf again? Low Vision Club member Bruce Hooper is sure

If you want to walk for exercise and enjoy some close companionship, you may
want to join the North Star Mall Walkers. They meet every Thursday morning
at 8 a.m. in Luby’s Cafeteria at North Star Mall.
No need to register in advance and no dues. (But if you want an orange
juice, coffee and a roll, you need to pay $3.) Most members walk between 7
and 8 a.m. before breakfast. The only mall entrance open at that time is
on the south side by the parking garage and the VIA bus stop. For more
information, call Ed Dylla at 223-2197.
