We had a great group of Members and their guests join us! A special thanks to Napa Bowl for making the event so easy. Without an “Activities Director” for the Club (still an open position if we have any takers…), Jayma did a great job planning the activity and pulling it all together. Christine gets credit for planning and gathering the prizes.

  • Second Place Winner – $15 Movie Certificate: Dave C. (scores: 158 & 152)
  • Best Woman and third highest Bowler – 1lb Sees candy certificate: Teresa J. (scores: 151 & 130)
