Bowling a "Turkey"

Have you ever gone bowling and struck all the pins down? Now imagine the excitement of bowling three strikes in a row-- a "turkey" in bowling terminology.

As one of their community service projects, the Raymond B. Thorn American Legion Auxiliary Unit 30 of New Rockford answered the New Rockford Area Betterment Corporation's request for donations for the renovation of the Wonder Lanes Bowling Alley in New Rockford.

On Monday, October 4, the NRABC was presented a check for $1,000, the "turkey" level, from the members of the New Rockford American Legion Auxiliary.

Making our communities better places in which to live is something auxiliary members strive for each day across this country. Revitalizing our community's investment in this historic business will continue to provide a safe facility for kids, families, and visitors of all ages to enjoy the recreational, educational and social benefits of the Wonder Lanes' bowling legacy for decades to come.

The members of the auxiliary appreciate the community's support of their fundraising events to enable auxiliary members to continue their community service projects.
