2009-2010 MCUSBC Contribution to BVL
Story submitted from Bob Hodges...
Just returned from making a presentation to the Menlo Park Veteran's Home. We ask our bowlers at our tournaments every year to donate a $1.00 to Bowlers for Veterans Group. The past few years we raised over $1000.00. This year we were able to designate our own recipient of 75% of the money collected. In the picture from left to right are Bob Hodges Association VP and BVL Chairman, John Dulack the homes WII bowling champion ( they have weekly tournaments on the WII ), Lou Colucci Association President and Joe Brandspiegel the Homes CEO. The check was for $889.00.
John Petraglia PBA bowler and member of our association is bowling's spoke person for BVL. On Dec 5 he ran a fund raiser for BVL and collected around $1500.00 which will be added to the monies we can collect at our tournaments. So next year we will be able to give the facility some more money.
