This year the District is asking for a $25.00 donation from each club to off set the expenses of the tournament. Your Club’s financial support is important to the success of the Blind Bowlers Tournament. Please make checks payable to District 14-B, and mail to my address above.
The Blind Bowlers also need your support of being at the bowling lanes to spot pins and to provide assistance to the bowlers. The bowling lanes do have computerized scoring, but we still need Lions to assist with recording the scores. 10 to 15 Lions are needed for Friday afternoon schedule, and 20 to 25 Lions for the sessions on Saturday morning and afternoon and on Sunday morning. If you think about the number of Lions needed per session, which works out to be 2 Lions per club.
The Assignments of sessions per Region was completed at the August Cabinet Meeting. Each Region will be responsible for manning their session. Attached are the session assignments.
Please arrive one half hour before your scheduled session so that lane can be assigned.
The Hotel will be The Crown Plaza in Bethel Park. The tournament banquet is held Saturday night and all Lions are invited to attend. Also, the Crown Plaza has special room rates for the weekend for any one wishing to stay the weekend or the night of the banquet. For more information on the banquet and room rates please feel free to contact me.
I hope to see all the Lions, Lioness, and Leos of District 14-B at this years tournament to make the 33rd Keystone Blind Bowlers Tournament another success. If you have any questions please feel free to call me, my home phone is 412-672-7696. Thank you and hope to see you at the tournament.
Yours in Lionism, Lion Richard Keller, PDG Blind Bowler Chairperson
