(5/9-5/10/09) That's a wrap!  The final weekend (Mother's Day weekend) of state tournament was successfully completed.  Thank you again to Dick Millward and his fabulous staff, Southeastern MA Association, the MAUSBCYA board, all those not mentioned specifically that participated during the tournament, as well as our bowlers.  We had a great time and hope you did too.  We look forward to seeing everyone in the fall.  Happy Mother's Day!  Tournament results should be posted by the end of the week.      
Have a great summer!

(5/2-5/3/09) The second weekend was also a success!  We did run into a few delays on Saturday, however, most were understanding.  On Sunday, we had two kids shoot a perfect game! (Danny Khuu & Brendan Litchfield)  Congrats to both of them.  Again, thank you to the AMF staff as well as all who helped out during the tournaments.  Current standings after the second weekend are now posted on the tournament results page.

(4/25-4/26/09) The first weekend of State Tournament ran very smoothly thanks to tournament director, Lauren Eramo and the board.  The weather was exceptional (bright and sunny, high 80's) to spend the day inside!  This tournament was held at AMF Holiday Lanes in Somerset.  Thank you to center manager, Dick Millward and your staff.  You have been very accommodating. Thank you to Southeastern MA Association members for their help all weekend.  Keep up the good work. Opening ceremonies started at 10AM with the Girl Scout Troop 114 Color Guard (Michaela Gienty, Emily Holmes, Kathleen Vickery, Ciera Costa), Bob Lanouette as a clergy member, a Representative (Colleen Murray-Hackett) from the State Senator Joan Merard's office, Andrew Kamia singing the National Anthem, MSTPBA President, O.J.
