Realtor groups are fielding teams, and Friendship Trays would love to sign up other work groups and individuals to play for a good cause.

A portion of the proceeds from the $30-per-player price will go to support Friendship Trays, your area meals-on-wheels program delivering more than 775 meals daily to the community's ailing, infirm and homebound neighbors.

The per-player fee includes two bowling games, bowling shoe rental, snacks to include potato chips and dip, pretzels, popcorn, tortilla chips and salsa, and unlimited soft drinks. Other food and beverage can be purchased on site by players.

There are several ways to sign up to play on April 2:

And while you're there, look around: About 100 volunteers and a small paid staff work a minor miracle every day as nutritious meals are cooked, packaged according to each recipient's dietary needs, then delivered by drivers who bring a smile and a keen eye for the health and well-being of recipients. For loved ones who live far away, knowing that someone is seeing their family member each day brings a lot of reassurance. We'd love for you to be a part of this community effort.
