Big Bowling Benefit Bonanza

49 Hinsdale Central High School students, including 25 members of the HC varsity baseball team, descended on Willowbrook Lanes on Friday. We all had a blast...bowling of course, hanging out with friends, having some snacks and generally having a good time.

To top it all off, the 49 nine bowlers raised $1205.00 in funds for Schools Count!! Yes, over $1200!! Talk about a success!! I have to tell you that, with the generous discount offered by Kits for Kidz, that sum will buy a huge quantity of new classroom supplies for one small size elementary school.

I want to express my thanks to head baseball coach Justin Cronin for bringing the entire team to the event. It was obvious they had a good time. Kudos go out to Marge McMahon, as sponsor of the Future Educators of America, for organizing the event and providing snacks for the bowlers. I am appreciative of Lisa Sopiarz, of FCCLA, for providing prizes for those bowlers who had the top scores in all three games. Finally, to all the bowlers, my thanks for participating in the event so that you could raise funds for children who desperately need school supplies.

Many thanks,
Dick
