City, Elks Lodge team for fall youth bowling program
NORWICH – As the fall air becomes colder and children seek indoor activities, the City of Norwich Youth Bureau extends an invitation to youth interested in bowling as an indoor activity.
The Youth Bureau is partnering with the Norwich Elks Lodge this fall to offer a youth bowling program for children in grades 1 to 4. The program, which will be free of charge, begins 10 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 5 at the Norwich Elks Lodge. Anyone interested is encouraged to sign up as soon as possible.
“This is the first time a fall bowling program at the Elks Lodge is being offered,” said Robert Mason, director of the Youth Bureau. “Winter youth bowling was held last year and was so successful, this fall activity has been planned.”
There are typically 20 spots available for the Elks Lodge youth bowling, said Mason. If more than 20 children are interested for fall bowling, there may be a possibility of having two separate groups.
“We have about seven volunteers ready to help out,” said Elks Lodge Exalted Ruler Jeff Cola. “We’re providing our bowling alley for the program ... We want to work with the kids. We teach them the techniques of bowling, score keeping and we teach them camaraderie and sportsmanship.”
Said Mason, “Our goal is to provide free activities for all youth so everyone has an equal opportunity. Get them out of the house, away from the computer and TV and to interact with others their age outside of the school environment.”
According to the Youth Bureau’s website, “The Bureau provides fun and educational activities for children ... the Youth Bureau is an important part of the City of Norwich’s commitment to the future.”
The City of Norwich Youth Bureau offers services to children and adolescence. Fall time bowling and junior bowling are in addition to a list of pending winter activities also sponsored by the Youth Bureau. Volleyball, indoor soccer, indoor baseball and softball, ice skating and dance are also listed as upcoming winter activities on the bureau’s website.
“During a normal winter time, we have nearly 300 youth enrolled in our programs,” said Mason, who is seeking participants for winter activities in addition to children interested in bowling this fall. “All activities are free of charge.”
The City of Norwich Youth Bureau offers programs and activities to children and adolescence residing in the City of Norwich and townships of Norwich, North Norwich, Plymouth, Preston and Pharsalia and acts as part of the New York State Office of Children and Family Services. Main registration for all upcoming winter youth activities will be at 6 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 7 at the Youth Bureau Office at City Hall.
