Welborn Media sponsors Team Welborn Media in the Fast and Furious Bowling League at Chaparral 300 in Chino Hills. The team consists of our very own Zeb Welborn plus Larry Welborn, aka Maddog, aka Dad; Annie Welborn, aka Mom; and Rocky Welborn, aka Bro; plus Grandma, aka Coach. We could not have chosen a better team to sponsor, not only because the members of the team happen to be close to my heart, but also because they were the league winners! Just one more way Welborn Media is connected to winners.

After the official season ended our league went to sweeps in the third most visited casino and resort destination in Nevada. That’s right, exciting Laughlin. Sweeps happened to fall on Father’s Day weekend. Larry, aka Dad, is truly the heart of the team. He is clutch, our most consistent player, always putting up big numbers. At sweeps on Father’s Day weekend, we knew we had to make it special.

The team plus Coach Grandma was definitely making the trip to Laughlin, but we didn’t know for sure if I (Lacey), or Larry’s sister’s Aunt Holly and Aunt Lindra would be able to come. When the time came the whole crew made it. That plus the fact that Team Welborn Media would be presented 1st place at the Fast & Furious Bowling League awards ceremony ensured that our dad would have a great Father’s Day. Zeb had an idea to make it even better. Our gift to dad would be custom Team Welborn Media Bowling Jerseys. As the designer, I was put in charge of the task.

I wanted something that represented the spirit of the team, something that spoke to the intensity and drive they have, something that would help with one of the most important assets in head to head competition . . .intimidation. It took a while to get it just right.

I took inspiration from each player.

We surprised dad with the jerseys just before the tournament. He loved them. He wore his jersey all weekend along with his warm smile. Dad had a wonderful time in Laughlin with his family cheering him on in the most stylish shirt he’s ever worn (well since the 70s anyway).

On New Year’s Eve Grace Arndt will be celebrating her 100th birthday. After all the experiences she’s had, she knows what she likes. When the preparations were being made for her 100th Birthday Bash, she was asked what food she’d like to have at the party. She chose her favorite meal, Kentucky Fried Chicken.

Grace, after her nearly 100 years, will share stories of how she and her family got through the Great Depression, how she used to help her mother run a boarding house, and how she used to love to dance: ballroom dance, foxtrot, waltz and tango. She has always loved music and in her younger days she played the piano and the drums and also ran a tavern with her husband called Arndt’s Music Bar. Today she is described as vivacious, fun-loving and intelligent.

When KFC got news of this vivacious, KFC loving, 99-year-old they offered to donate lunch for her milestone party. KFC shared this news on their Facebook page, and people from all over the country have been using that post to wish Grace a happy birthday. There is also this page, titled Grace Arndt, that has dozens of birthday wishes from family and friends as well as random Facebookers.

Everyone is encouraged to wish this soon to be centenarian a Happy Birthday on her Facebook page to help her celebrate such a huge milestone.

Social Media is an amazing thing. It allows us to connect, re-connect, keep in touch, and interact with people from around the world. It can help a 99-year-old KFC fan get a free fried chicken lunch for her and her family and friends. It provides the opportunity for anyone who has a Facebook to be a part of celebrating 100 years of life.

Happy 100th Birthday Grace! We wish you all the best!
