2009 MDA Bowl-A-Thon Breaks Record

                          Our MDA Bowl-a-thon held on Sunday, November 1st at Cambrian Bowl raised over three
                     thousand six hundred dollars to help find the cure for muscular dystrophy and related diseases.
                     This dollar amount far exceeds the proceeds from last year event and sets a record for our
                     Branch. Shop Stewards Bob Krauth and Pam West volunteered to coordinate this event and
                     they did an outstanding job. They took the job on with a short time frame to prepare but that
                     did not hinder their effectiveness. Many thanks to Bob and Pam for a job well done. Branch
                     1427 joined us in this event and about seventy bowlers filled the lanes and bowled for three
                      hours. It was great to see everyone enjoying the afternoon. There was quite a variety of talent
                      displayed. We had bowlers who scored in the 230-260 range along with bowlers who scored
                      in the 30-60 range. The common thread was everyone was enjoying themselves. It was great to
                      see soon to be eighty-nine year old Trustee Tom Steward step in when President Danny Laffan
                      suffered a minor injury. Special thanks to the carriers from Foothill Station who raised over five
                      hundred dollars in sponsoring carrier Frannie Ramirez to participate. Laurie Duarte, Tommy Jean,
                      Sharon Epp and Jackie Lanto teamed up with Frannie for a team total of over nine hundred dollars
                      in sponsorships. Congratulations and thanks to everyone who participated for your efforts.
