Pins For Pets

For all you bowlers out there, if you'd like to get some extra rolling in this week, I have the perfect opportunity for you! From July 15-22, Royal Crest Lanes here in Lawrence is hosting a special fundraiser for the Lawrence Humane Society. You can bowl 3 games any day or night this week for only $10, and half of your bowling fee will be donated back to the shelter! How great is that? In addition, the attached restaurant (Wayne & Larry's) will also donate 15% of your food and beverage sales during that same time period to the shelter, provided you bring along a special coupon which you can pick up at the shelter (I can probably snag you a copy too if you need one).

The shelter is super short on funds this year because a) they're undertaking a big expansion and b) the city just cut their funding for this fiscal year by $16,000, apparently as part of "across the board" cuts to outside agencies (the shelter is a private non-profit that gets funding by the city to serve as the one and only city pound as well). While LHS is usually short on cash, this year they are especially short, which is why they're having a few additional fundraisers such as this one.

So get out there and roll, people! Hopefully I'll see you there! :)
