We belong to a League of multiple bowling clubs with a long and illusrtious heritage and history. Several of the Clubs date back over 100 years. Our members are the friendliest and we have the best bowlers around San Antonio. Our Turner Club facility sports both 10-Pin bowling lanes with automatic pin setting machines as well as 9-Pin lanes that still utilize manual pin setters. Our favorite is our original 9-pin style lanes. The lanes have been around since the early 1900′s and are all still the way they were built. We have pin setters who have to manually stack the pins using 19th century technology. Come out to see what it’s all about, friendly environment and tons of fun!

The Lone Star Brewery, built in 1884, was the first large mechanized brewery in Texas. Adolphus Busch, of Anheuser-Busch, founded it along with a group of San Antonio businessmen. The castle-like building now houses the San Antonio Museum of Art. Lone Star beer was the company's main brand. It was marketed as "The National Beer of Texas." The Lone Star name is now owned by Pabst Brewing Co. Production of Lone Star is currently contracted out to Miller Brewing Company in Fort Worth. The Lone Star name is used in the Philippines under license to Asia Brewery for a brand of light beer.HistoryOriginally called the Alamo Brewing Company of San Antonio in 1874, the company was purchased by Anheuser-Busch in 1895 at which time it was housed in the Old Lone Star Brewery located on 200 West Jones Avenue. The original Lone Star Bottling Works opened in San Antonio in the 1890s and by 1903 was selling 65,000 barrels of beer annually.With the end of Prohibition in 1933, a new brewery under the name Salinas Brewing Company was constructed at 600 Lone Star Boulevard and operated under the Salinas name until 1939. The company then operated under name to the Champion Brewing Company until 1940, at which time it was purchased by a the Muchlebach Brewing Company of Kansas City, Missouri. The company re-branded itself as the Lone Star Brewing Company and began officially producing Lone Star Beer that year. The brewery also produced Lone Star Light, low-calorie Lime Lager (1970) & Brut Super Premium (1969).

The P.E.A.C.E.* Initiative 2012 * Putting an End to Abuse through Community Efforts The mission: To educate our community about the extent and often deadly consequences, of domestic violence and to respond effectively through collaborative partnerships. P.E.A.C.E. Initiative programs on domestic violence include: Education and Training Increase public awareness on domestic violence by teaching, training, public speaking, in public, private, alternative, university and college class room settings, public meetings, open forums, neighborhood meetings, churches of all denominations. We educate and train on topics such as peoples’ legal rights, possible legal remedies, approaches for legal advocacy, the services and resources available in the state, municipal and county levels, to complement these efforts such as safety planning, counseling needs, advocacy in the civil and criminal justice system, income needs, education needs, childcare needs, protection through law enforcement needs. We train and educate people in the medical, law enforcement, child protection, social service, religious, corporate, legal, education, inmate (youth and adult), criminal justice supervision, community and civic leaders on issues of domestic violence such as resources available, culturally relevant interventions, appropriate case management, and safety planning. We also teach others, such as survivors how to advocate for themselves in these systems, as well as how to work with the mainstream and alternative media (TV, print, audio) to help educate the community about the issues we face as a community due to domestic violence. We serve on boards and commissions, at the local, state and national levels to represent the grass roots experience of dealing with domestic violence as interventions, rules, policy and procedure themes are addressed in developing practice models for responding to family violence. Responsible Fatherhood Programming “Men Cultivating the Power of P.E.A.C.E. – Hombres Cultivando el Poder de Paz”. This program is collaborating with community based organizations especially women’s organizations to learn about the extent and impact of family violence. This campaign will engage males in the learning about and need for stopping the spousal and child abuse violence and involve them in community education, arts, activist, organizing, faith based and neighborhood events and activities to do so. Immigrant Community We are working with the Mexican Consulate and maintain an ongoing dialogue with them, meet quarterly and have them attend trainings on the legal remedies they have open to them for helping them assist their immigrant clients. Offender Population -- Project ADVANCE* Addressing Violence & Abuse through Networking, Client Education and Empowerment We work with the offender population in Bexar County that are first time arrestees, to educate them about domestic violence, to promote healthy relationships, to lower recidivism rates, and intervene in the cyclical nature of domestic violence withing the criminal justice system. They are court ordered nine, two hour sessions that involve learning about their responsibilities and options with regard to stopping domestic violence, impact of D.V. on children, child custody, parental obligations, as survivors and or perpetrators of domestic violence, etc. They also receive wrap around case management services to help them interrupt and stop the violence. Coalition Building and Community Organizing. We work to engage community members in discussions about the effects of family violence on family members and the community as a whole. We are training them to know what to expect from law enforcement in terms of laws, safety, protections, resources and their rights which they in turn will teach other community residents. We have learned that most survivors of family violence seek help with those people closest to them, therefore it is imperative we build a community consciousness of awareness, accountability and response. This way that community member, will know what to say, how to respond, and where to send survivors of family violence for the appropriate help and support they need. Advocacy We advocate for the systemic changes needed within the institutions of the community to effectively respond to these needs. We challenge law enforcement when they deviate from departmental policy in response to family violence calls. Advocate on how city dollars are spent in terms of effective response from community agencies. The judicial system as a vital link in dealing effectively with domestic violence, the P.E.A.C.E. Initiative has worked to improve the criminal and civil response to domestic violence. During October, National Domestic Violence Awareness Month, the P.E.A.C.E. Initiative plans, designs and implements events and activities in a citywide effort to create awareness, get community involved, in eradicating the violence in families.
