Bowlers Wanted for Faculty and Staff Bowling League

Do you enjoy bowling? Would you like to try bowling? Are you looking for a fun activity with your colleagues?

The Syracuse University and SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry (ESF) Faculty and Staff Bowling League is seeking new members, either regular or substitute bowlers. This is a fun, non-sanctioned handicap league accepting male and female bowlers who are currently employed by SUNY ESF or the University. Skill level does not matter; the beginner to high-average bowler will be accepted. Beginner bowlers will have the opportunity to be encouraged and coached by the more experienced and skilled bowlers.

This year, the league bowls on Tuesdays from September through April at Village Lanes at 201 E. Manlius St., East Syracuse, from 5:10 to 8 p.m. Practice bowling is 10 minutes before the league starts. Weekly fees are about $16 each week.

This league has a long history of bowling in the area, from Drumlins in the 1960s to the present day at the Village Lanes. Each team consists of four bowlers with one or two substitutes. There are also opportunities for league substitutes, whose bowling fees would be paid for by the team.

Interested faculty or staff can contact League Secretary Paul Szemkow or League President Mike Satchwell for more information. League play begins Sept. 10, with a practice session on Sept. 3. This year’s league captains include Ray Leach, Aaron Knight, Fil LaRosa, Steve Florence, Eric Greenfield, Randy Money, Sue Taylor-Netzband and Mike Satchwell.
