District 11
Sunday, March 14, District 11’s Charity Bowling Tournament took place at Sunnybrook Lanes in Sterling Heights, MI where 35 people helped collect $800 (with matching funds) for the Gleaners Community Food Bank. This year a 9 pin no/tap format was used. This means that if you bowled 9 pins on your first ball, it was still considered a strike. Following the bowling, the participants were able to partake in the all you care to eat salad, pizza, brownies and liquid refreshments in the banquet room.
