We are in the planning stages for SRIV’s annual bowling event. Named for Edna Bernier an extraordinary volunteer, well into her 90’s. Edna certainly left her mark on all those who knew her, volunteered with her and benefitted from her caring and giving way!
This year our event will feature a raffle with 15 themed baskets highlighting adventures and things to do in our beautiful region of the world! We will be posting information on our Face Book page closer to the event about these great raffle prizes.
Bowling of course is happening. But without thanking our event and lane sponsors who return each year to support our senior services the bowling could not take place. So first and foremost—thank you to all our sponsors, our main event sponsors Stedman & Company and Northup’s Service Center; then our amazing lane sponsors South County Smiles, Bentley Builders, A B Hoxie Well and Pump, Tuckertown Volunteer Fire Department, Matunuck Volunteer Fire Department, The Washington Trust Company, People’s Credit Union, Stasuinas Construction Companies, The Amazing Coutu Family, Fiore Realty Company, Village at Worden’s Pond, Ri Grows, Lise Iwon, Tom Ford Law, Stone Cove Marina, Daniel Carter Law and Finan Law. Of course, a huge thank you to Old Mountain Lanes for our location and Belmont Market for the food provided for our attendees—you all ROCK! Wishing you years of success!
Bowling will take place from 10 am to 1 pm. For those who are not on a business sponsored team, you can still come and bowl with us for $25. You will receive the shoe rental, bowling from 10 to 1, our food offerings, and you’ll be supporting our seniors.
Bowling on a sponsored team—you are entitled to enter our bowler pledge drawings. If you gather pledges to support our seniors that total $50 or more, you will have multiple chances to win gift cards throughout the bowling hours of 10 am to 1 pm. All you need to do is grab one of the pledge forms that will be mailed to your business sponsor and gather those pledges to support senior citizen nutrition. The top pledge gatherer will win an awesome prize!
Spectators are welcome to purchase raffle tickets between 8:30 am and 1 pm. Drawings are 1:15 pm. You are also welcome to cheer on our bowlers—great people coming out to support our senior citizen neighbors’ independence, healthy aging, and basic needs!
Keep posted for flyers and more information over the next few months. If you have any questions on how to sponsor a lane, how to get involved or are interested in the mission of service for senior citizens contact us today at 401-552-7661.
