–Central Valley Masters Trios Tournament in Santa Maria – Another Success

In case you missed it, it was held Father’s Day weekend, on Sat., Jun. 16th at Rancho Bowl in Santa Maria. The event drew (35) trios team competing in the two qualifying squads that day. If you haven’t bowled at Rancho Bowl in a while, you would have been treated to bowling on newly re-done lanes and approaches—something we rarely hear being done these days! Add to that, they got brand new synthetic pins. This was the first time CVM held one of their events there and they came away saying, “All we can say is that we have never been treated better. Thank you to the staff that were always asking if we needed anything and was always willing to help.”

With 35 teams, they paid 5 spots and Team Andrew Liever #2 took the win. The Bakersfield team – Team Zackary Long (Zack Long, Charles Gabriel & Robert Fox) came in second place. One 300 game was shot by Ken Green, Sr. from Lompoc.

CVM would like to thank everyone who traveled to support them and thank the CVM crew who always work hard at running these tournaments and they will definitely be back to Rancho Bowl!

–Save Cloverleaf Family Bowl
Another established bowling center located in Fremont is in trouble of being torn down for redevelopment for housing units. The Cloverleaf Family Bowl, which has been in existence now for 55 years could be demolished. David & Marian Hillman opened Cloverleaf Bowl on March 23, 1963, and the center has stayed in the family and is now ran by Mike Hillman.

Please go online and sign the petition now to save Cloverleaf Family Bowl. The link address is https://www.change.org/p/save-cloverleaf-family-bowl.

The 2018 drive was kicked off at the CUSBC State Convention that was held in Fresno, CA, the weekend of June 9-10.

–Golden Empire USBC Lane Certification Committee Needs Help!

If you have time to help our GEUSBC Lane Certification Committee they are looking for some local bowlers to become a part of this committee and to help them when they go certify lanes. This is the time of year that this process starts. The committee usually goes out in the morning, or when the center first opens, to perform this task. It takes several hours (depending how many lanes the center has). The committee is currently looking for 4-5 people to help them this season. If you are interested or would like more information on what is involved, please contact GEUSBC President Ray Neubig at 661/333-8969 or talk to Diz Francisco.
