Almost Down to the Last Frame

(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)There are just a few lanes left to bowl alongside “Team Hardcore” (Teamsters 639), “Gutterdusters” (AFGE 631), “Circuit Breakers and Live Wires" (IBEW), and many more at the January 29 “Bowling for Gold” Union Bowling Tournament. As the 20th annual tournament nears, the Community Services Agency (CSA) is seeking donations for giveaways and raffles. From leftover convention items like bags, trinkets, and t-shirts to sports tickets and gift cards, all donations are welcome; contact Kathleen at kmckirch@dclaborarchives.org to donate. The tournament raises money for the CSA’s Emergency Assistance Fund for needy union families and, according to CSA Executive Director Kathleen McKirchy, “it’s one of the most fun and successful fundraisers of the year.” Click here to register your team. - photo of 2011 Bowling Tournament by Adam Wright
