San Diego Looking to Host Mid-Year 2008

 April 2005—For many San Diego bowlers the action of the
Winter Olympics and Oscar races were a welcome
diversion to the real life competition
playing out on the bowling lanes. As the Easy
Pick Ups, Pride Rollers, High Rollers and
Rainbow leagues enter the final stretch of the
winter season, everyone now looks to the April
sweeps to see which teams will walk away with
tears or cheers.
All the while everyone keeps an eye to the
future, more specifically to Mid Year 2006 in
Detroit as San Diego bids for Mid Year 2008!
Work continues behind the scenes preparing a
bid package that will win your vote to bring
everyone back to San Diego in 2008. Leading
this dedicated team are Yogi Rusk, Larry
Sanchez, and Ron Suttora Jr. The San
Diego Invitational Tournament is taking a break
this year to avoid conflicting with Gay Games
and focus our efforts on the big brass ring of
Mid Year 2008. SDIT will return in 2007,
giving everyone a chance to try out the lanes
you will be competing on the following year
(should our 2008 bid win).
On Saturday April 8th The Palm Springs Desert
Invitational Classic and San Diego Mid Year
bidding city committees will host a 40 Frame
Tournament Fundraiser at Fantasy Springs
Lanes in Indio. Entry is $35 per person sign
ups begin at noon and bowling at 1 PM. Contact
Michael Klauza or Tino
Dang for details.
