64th Annual William Penn Association Bowling Tournament & Scholarship Days Pittsburgh ready to welcome WPA bowlers for another fun, fraternal weekend PITTSBURGH - The WPA will kick off another season of fun, fraternal activities with the 64th Annual Bowling Tournament and Scholarship Days, May 4 to 6, in Pittsburgh. The tournament weekend will begin Friday, May 4, with the annual meeting of the William Penn Fraternal Association Scholarship Foundation, Inc. The meeting will take place at the Radisson Hotel Pittsburgh Greentree. All members are invited and encouraged to attend this important meeting and to share their ideas on how the Foundation can continue its important work in helping our young members achieve a higher education. After the meeting, all bowlers and guests are welcome to a reception in the hotel, featuring food, refreshments and good oldfashioned fraternal fellowship. The adult bowling tournament will begin Saturday, May 5, with the team event and continues on Sunday, May 6, with the doubles and singles events. All bowling events will take place at Princess Lanes, a top-flight bowling facility which has hosted numerous WPA tournaments. Also on Saturday, the WPA will host its 11th Annual Juvenile Fun Event, a bowling event designed specifically for the enjoyment of children ages 15 and under. The emphasis will be on fun, and everyone will leave a winner. Once again, the WPA is adding to the excitement of the adult tournament by offering a special $10,000 prize to the first eligible member who bowls a perfect 300 game during Saturday's team event. To be eligible for this prize, a bowler must (1) be an adult lifebenefit member of the William Penn Association as of April 1, 2007, with at least one year's premium paid; and (2) be age 18 or older. Also, a $5,000 prize will be awarded to the first nonmember amateur bowler age 18 or older who bowls a perfect 300 game during Saturday's team event. After Saturday's team event and Juvenile Fun Event, bowlers and guests will gather in casual attire for the Barbeque Blowout at the Radisson Hotel. The afternoon will feature a pre-barbeque cash bar at 1:00 p.m., followed by a delicious barbeque dinner at 2:00 • Adult Tournament Entry Form Page 7 • Awards Dinner Reservation Form Page 8 • Juvenile Fun Event Entry Form Page 8 • Bowling Tournament Rules & Regulations Page 9 p.m. Fliers containing information, entry forms, Barbeque Blowout reservation forms and hotel reservation information have been mailed to all 2006 team captains.
