during the week of July 6-10.  Once again Mike Frantz coordinated the effort by Knights of Columbus Council 10208 to assist the bowlers.  In scheduling the volunteers, Mike works closely with Keith and Joy Weatherbee who are directly involved with the NCBC.

A new feature offered by the Knights this year was to invite teens enrolled in the Sacred Heart of Jesus CCD program to participate in this social ministry.

A total of 98 hours was provided by the ten knights, two spouses, and four teens as they assisted an average of 16 bowlers per day.
