Do you love to bowl? Share you passion because bowling is a big favorite too - with our residents at Norwood Crossing. Come help us every Tuesday morning from 9:15 to 11:15. We set up a long, plastic “alley and use full-size, but lightweight bowling balls and pins. Residents “bowl” from a raised apparatus so they can participate from their wheelchairs.
The activity is led by long-time volunteers. We need additional volunteers to assist in setting up the "alley" prior to the activity's start at 9:45 and to help stow the equipment after. Volunteers also help set & reset pins, keep score, provide physical assistance with bowling and cheer the bowlers on. Prior to and after bowling you are needed to assist seniors to and from their rooms.
