Youth Bowing Results Now Part Of Larger Tourney
The Polish Falcons of America recently have joined with the Polish National Alliance, the Polish Roman Catholic Union of America and the Polish Women’s Alliance to form an annual Polonia Youth Bowling Tournament.

All scores from our annual PFA Youth Bowling Tournament will be sent to the Polonia Youth Bowling Tournament, and these scores from our youth members will go up against scores from the young members of these other organizations. Please note that there is no need to adjust how your Nest handles its Youth Bowling Tournament. Just send in your information to Co-National Physical Education Director Chris Puskar.

For more information, National Second Vice President Robert Gorny can be reached by phone at (575) 876-4581 or by e-mail.
