Aug. 7, 2001
With schools starting in another week, that means the league bowling meetings will be taking place starting August 13-17 at 6 p.m. each night at Dixie Bowl.
The leagues will be starting to bowl the next week. So make plans to come to one of the meetings. If you're not on a team, we'll get you on one.
We have openings for bowlers and teams almost every night. Come join a league and you'll see how much fun league bowling can be. We would love to have you.
Give us a call at 483-2283 if you have any questions. We'll do our best to answer them.
Youth league
The youth league meeting and sign up will be Wednesday, Aug. 22, at 4 p.m. The league will start Sept. 5 at 4 p.m. The Saturday youth league will meet Saturday, Aug. 25, at 10 a.m. and will start bowling Sept. 8.
Get a friend and come join the league and learn a lot about the game of bowling. It is a great sport to do by yourself or with a group. Ask your youth leader at your church to set up a bowling trip for your church at Dixie Bowl. You'll see what fun it really is.

You may bowl with two other people on the same squad for $25 each: 90% of 210 for ladies and 80% of 210 men. High game brackets also. Come join us for some great bowling and fun.
