2014 "PINS FOR PETS" ANNUAL BOWLING FUNDRAISER
The 2014 “Pins for Pets” 9-Pin Tap bowling fundraiser will be held on Saturday, March 1, 2014, at Northwoods Lanes and Lounge in Spooner. Alley owner, Mike Miller, and Fundraising Coordinator, Connie Salquist, are working on an expanded day of bowling with 3 shifts--12 PM, 3 PM, plus a 6PM shift with cosmic bowling.
The registration fee for this event will be $20, which will include 3 games of bowling, shoes and ball rental if needed, and a great day of bowling for a great cause, as well as chances of winning raffle, door, and bowling prizes.
Bowlers of all ages and skill levels are welcome and may come as a team or sign up individually. Pre-registration is suggested and this may be done by calling Northwoods Lanes and Lounge at 715-939-1203, or by stopping in at the alley. Bowlers may also register on the day of the event if there are still openings left.
The donation form competition is back again and there is always a chance to win a prize for bringing in the highest amount of money collected or the highest number of names of people listed. A donation sheet is available by clicking here or one may be picked up at the shelter or bowling alley. This competition is another wonderful way of making this fundraiser a financial success. Door prizes will be given away and raffle prize winners will be drawn at each shift, and bowling scores will also be tallied after each shift.
If you would like to donate a door or raffle prize for this event, you may drop it off at the shelter or at the bowling alley, or if anyone would like to donate finger or snack foods to be served throughout the day or if there are any questions, please call Connie Salquist at 615-635-7677.
Because this March 1 bowling event is the first 2014 fundraiser for the WCAHS shelter and, with the fact that the “Pins for Pets” event is in its 10th year, the hope is that WCAHS employees, volunteers, and members will be “bowled” over with response of supporters whether it is through bowling, donation sheet collection efforts, donation of prizes or food, buying raffle tickets, or just coming in to say, “hi”. WCAHS is very thankful for those who will “spare” the time and “strike” up the enthusiasm to join in the fun of “Pins for Pets” on Saturday, March 1!
