Dear Members:
Thanks for the food and cash donations for the Northern Indiana Food Bank.
We had 96 bowlers compete for nearly $5,000. Thanks go to Matt Urbanski and
American Family Insurance for sponsoring this tournament and to Josh Johnson
and his staff for hosting us again this year. Brandon Craft won five matches
on his way to winning his first title.
