To those that were playing back in the
sixties and seventies, it is with regret
that we inform you of the passing of former
6-time U.S. champion, Dal-Joon Lee. D-J
passed on Sept. 19 at the age of 71.

For those who do not know, D-J spent a number
of years in the Greater Cleveland area before
moving to Columbus to run a TT club. He moved
to Las Vegas about 30 years ago and retired
as a player in our sport.

D-J, born in Korea, was probably the first
of many top-notch Asian players to immigrate
to the U.S. and find a multitude of success
in our sport here. (10/05/2010)

Our club's Constitution and By-Laws can be

"Directions":

We are located in the city of Eastlake, OH in the JFK Senior Center (formerly the William H. Taft school).

Eastlake is an eastern suburb of Cleveland, bordering on Lake Erie, and about 15-20 miles from downtown Cleveland.

Though NOT a mailing address for the club, the JFK Senior Center's official address is: 1580 East 332nd St./ Eastlake, OH 44095.
THE CLOSEST PARKING LOT TO THE PLAYING VENUE IS THE RIGHTMOST LOT WHICH IS ACCESSIBLE OFF OF A ONE-WAY CIRCULAR DRIVEWAY. Once parked, look for the doors closest to the "William H. Taft" lettering on the building. Once inside the building, look for the Multi-Purpose room to your left.

From West: Take the Shoreway (I-90/OH Rte.2) heading East from Cleveland. Near the Euclid/Wickliffe boundary, I-90 & Rte.2 split. Stay on Rte.2 (the leftmost two lanes). *Exit at E.305 St. (the second exit after the split). The exit extends to three lanes at the traffic light. Be in the middle lane to make a wide left turn onto E.305 to be in the far right lane of E.305. Drive a short distance under the Rte.2 overpass and just beyond (NOT AT, NOR BEFORE) the next traffic light, make a right turn onto Curtis Blvd. (N. Marginal Rd.). Drive about 0.75 mi. on Curtis to E.337 St. Make a left onto E.337. Be careful to observe the posted speed limit and go another 0.4 mi. to Morris, which is on the left. Travel about another 0.15 mi. on Morris, which takes a severe jog to the right (so do not be going too fast). Continue about another 0.15 mi. on Morris to E.332 St. The building should now be in sight. Follow driveway/parking instructions from above.

From East: Take OH rte.2 due West. Exit at Vine St. in the middle lane. Turn right onto Vine to be in the leftmost lane. Remain in this lane for the next 1.3 mi. Turn left on E.332 St. and go for another 0.35 mi. until you reach the driveway on the right for the JFK Senior Center. Follow driveway and parking instructions from above.

From South: Take I-271 North until it ends. Be in the rightmost two lanes to take I-90 West. Follow I-90 West until OH Rte. 2. Be in the rightmost lane and follow Rte. 2 East. Then follow directions after * in "From West" above.
