Save the date for Saturday, March 3, 2018 from 1-4 pm at Park Centre Lanes for the JA Bowl-A-Thon Rotary Challenge! Deadline to register is January 31, 2018.Wouldn't you love to have fun with Rotarians from other clubs as well as raise money for an excellent cause, one that fits Rotary's missions of youth development and sharing vocations? If your answer is YES, then consider participating in the Junior Achievement Rotary Bowl-A-Thon Challenge! Teams of Rotarians will gather pledges to Junior Achievement from family, friends, co-workers, etc. The Rotary Team with the highest amount of pledges wins a $50 donation to their Rotary's Charitable or Scholarship Fund!
Perhaps more importantly, each Rotarian will get a chance to have some FUN with their fellow Rotarians by.....BOWLING! For a mere $10 entry fee, each bowler will receive a collectible t-shirt, three games of bowling, and bowling shoe rental. Plus, you will be able to participate in prize drawings and other games the day of the event. (For what it's worth, Park Centre Lanes does sell adult beverages for any Rotarians who might be so inclined).
Last year, Rotarians from the Canton, Jackson, and North Canton Clubs participated (with Canton taking home the trophy). We hope you will consider forming a team to compete on March 3rd. By the way, JA is hoping to have some Kiwanis teams there, too, so you can have some REAL bragging rights!
If you're not familiar with Junior Achievement, they are a non-profit that brings Financial Literacy, Work Readiness, and Entrepreneurship programs into the local schools, all taught by volunteers from the business and professional community (including many Rotarians). It is in this way that Rotarians can share knowledge of their vocation and professional life, and to aid in the development of our young people. JA programs are presented at no cost to the schools or students.
Information on the JA Rotary Bowling Challenge can be found at this LINK (including registration instructions). If you have ANY questions, please contact Rick Taylor at 330-575-2870 or at rtaylor@jaonline.org
Hope to see you on the lanes!
