"Eastside Junior Bowling" Back For Another Year
By Will Bradley, Nest 31 Instructor
Polish Falcons “Eastside Junior Bowling” will be starting up soon. This league is open to any child within District XIII, so bring your kid(s) or grandchildren.

Bowling will take place on the following dates, which are all Sundays: January 13, February 10; March 9; and April 20 (our tournament). All start-up times will be at noon.

We will bowl at a new place this year. This year's location is AMF Rose Bowl Lanes, which is at 28001 Groesbeck Highway, Roseville, MI 48066. Phone: (585) 771-4140.

The cost of bowling is still $5 for ages 3-8 (bumpers, two games) and $7 for ages 9-18 (no bumpers, three games). These prices include shoe rental and a bowling ball to use.

No sign-ups or RSVPs are required. If you wish to let me know that you are coming, that would be great. For more information, I can be reached by phone at (586) 634-7600 or by e-mail (please put “PFA” in your e-mail’s subject line).

After Mass, there was a short ceremony that consisted of prayers and announcements by each Nest President of the deceased members from their Nest since last year. This was followed by a luncheon and a District meeting.

Janet Knauber, Legion of Honor Secretary, did a great job arranging the Mass, luncheon and meeting. Members of Michigan Nests 31, Detroit; 79, Southgate; 86, Hamtramck; and 124, Saginaw were in attendance.
