NEWS

From the desk of  Phil

Phil LaPorte has a new e-mail address:  phil@wibowl.com please change your records accordingly.

 The prize checks are in the mail.  Again all checks are mailed to the team captains - and it is their responsibility to distribute the checks to their bowlers within 30 days after receipt.

SPECIAL NOTE: 

For the 300 game bowlers and 800 series - your jackets are being mailed this week.  Also Senior Champions are included in this mailing.  Watch for them to arrive on your doorstep.

Thank you for making the tournament a success - without our "Squad Sponsors" and "You The Bowler" plus our sponsors Miller/Coors, Braxion, Oshkosh Visitors & Convention Bureau and Hammer - the $429,000 prize fund would not have been possible.

See you at Waukesha in 2011.  Make those reservations early.
