Join the Battle Against the Bladeless Swiss Army Knife! Dear Swiss Club Members, friends and guests, We need to rally together like the valiant Eidgenossen of old to stop the madness that has befallen our beloved Swiss Army knife!

## Strike it Rich: A Night of Bowling Bliss at The Palms Last Saturday night, The Palms Country Club in Alabang transformed into a lively bowling alley as 16 eager participants gathered for a night of friendly competition and pure fun. The air was thick with anticipation as the bowling balls made their way down the lanes, accompanied by cheers, laughter, and the occasional gasp. Max, a self-proclaimed semi-professional bowler, quickly asserted his dominance, leaving his opponents in awe of his skills. Peter, a worthy contender, started off a bit shaky but found his groove midway through, sending the bowling pins flying with impressive force. Despite Peter's valiant effort, Max ultimately emerged victorious, much to the amusement of Markus Helber, who had already prepared a celebratory bottle of wine with Max's name on it.
