Dick Dunbar and the Pool Players of The Brooke’s Billiard Club (PPB) have been a busy HOA-1 Club in the month of August!
Thirty PPB Members and guests gathered at Mi Tierra Mexican Restaurant for a sponsor appreciation luncheon on Thursday, August 13. Our host Carolina Solorzano welcomed us with open arms and a shot of Tequila!
