The Splitrock Ladies Bowling League held their annual banquet at Eastway Bowl on April 25th, 2023, with Garretson, Ins. as the hostess. We ordered our food off the menu and all was delicious. Thanks to the cooks.
Cheryl Scholl opened with a welcome to everyone for coming and for all who bowled this year. A special thanks to our two subs who were very helpful this year. Subs were Renee Nelson and Lois Leslie. We got all 30 weeks in even with our three snow days. Teams were helpful getting them made up before our final week.
After the welcome it was turned over to the hostess team Garretson, Ins. for the drawing of door prizes. Everyone received a nice prize. Nice job for the shoppers.
From there it was turned over to Bonnie Kramer to give out the awards. There was a roll-off between Jesse James the first half winners and JSA/Engineers & Land Surveyors on April 18th. The roll-off was won by Jesse James. Members of the team are Vickie Wielenga, Jackie Engebretson, Arlys Johnson, Bonnie Kramer and Renee Nelson. Congratulations.
