Bowlers to Veterans Link
Recently there was a presentation made at the Grand Rapids Veterans Home. Brunswick Corporation went in and refurbished the two lanes that they have for recreation, along with several proprietors offering the service of their lane men to keep them in shape. The Greater Muskegon USBC was there to present plaques andpresented medals to the veterans that have bowled 300 games. The Grand Rapids USBC presented a check for $1300.00 that was collected from our local bowlers thru the BVL Mail-O-Graphic Tournament. This money willbe used for recreational therapy programs at the home and whatever needs the patients have. We're pleased that our association is committed to our BVL mission: to make sure the days are brighter for those who have served our country. This year's our Veterans Mail-O-Graphic Tournament is being held the week of Nov. 10 - Nov. 17, 2013. Entry fee is $5.00. Enter in as many certified leagues as you bowl. Entry forms are available on our website www.grgrusbc.org. All monies will be donated to the Grand Rapids Home for Veterans. Thank you in advance for your support.
