Kiwanis to Hold Family Bowling Event April 28

The Kiwanis Club of Old York Road will hold a Family Bowling Event on April 28 at Thunderbird Bowling Lanes, located at 1130 York Road in Willow Grove.

The event, which will take place from 3 – 5 p.m., costs $10 for children and $15 for adults. The Price of admission will include the two-hour bowling, shoes, food, refreshments, and raffle prizes.

Proceeds from the event will go toward Kiwanis of Old York Road scholarships for an Upper Moreland High School (UMHS) student and a UMHS/Eastern Center for Arts and Technology student.

According to Sue Mathers, Kiwanis of Old York Road president-elect, proceeds from the event will also benefit the Kiwanis International “The Elminiate Project.”

Mathers, who is also the nurse at Upper Moreland High School, said that the project is a combined effort between Kiwanis International and UNICEF to eliminate maternal and neonatal tetanus. Mathers explained that maternal fetal tetanus is a painful death for newborn babies.

According to www.kiwanis.org, in order to eliminate maternal fetal tetanus, “more than 100-million mothers and their future babies must be immunized.”

She added that this is the second year Kiwanis Club of Old York Road has raised funds for this project.

“We encourage people to come out and enjoy themselves on a Sunday afternoon,” Mathers said.
