RSVP by the end of the day on Monday, December 2, to let us know if you will be able to attend and if you wish to bowl.  We will need to know your shoe size if you are bowling, so your shoes can be waiting for you at your lane. Gather your team and create a team name as prizes are awarded for the best team name voted on by your peers. When you register to attend, you can sign up for a lane (limit six bowlers per team/lane).
