Successful 1st Bowling Tournament of the SACI….Roger Janke and Armelle La O, Champions 2005

By Herman Santa

With the camaraderie that a bowling tournament promotes for the first time, the “First Bowling Tournament” was held successfully with the participation of over 13 players made up of members and guests. The tournament was organized to raise funds for a scholarship for a Hispanic student. The event took place on Saturday, October 1st, at the Saint Lucie Lanes bowling alley in Port St. Lucie and was characterized by a high level of competition framed by the camaraderie among players and friends who gathered to participate in the event.

Roger Janke entered the final stage of three games with 590 (524) pins knocked down in three games for an average of 196 with a handicap of 4. Nick Arnell finished in second place with 529 (551) pins knocked down for an average of 176 and a handicap of 22. In third place was Ralph Annunziata with 491 (524) pins knocked down for an average of 163 and a handicap of 33.

While in the female category, Armelle La O claimed victory by knocking down 354 (428) pins for an average of 118 and a handicap of 74. In second place was Letica Goff with a total of 332 (413) pins knocked down for an average of 110 and a handicap of 81. Third place went to Muriel Annunziata with 303 (392) pins knocked down for an average of 101 and a handicap of 33. The formula used to determine the winner was based on “200 Average X 3 Games – 90%.” Blanca Kaiser was the winner of the practice award (Best Improved) with a certificate from El Caribe Restaurant in Palm City. Other participants in the tournament included Raul and Alejandro Solanilla, Herman and Lucy Santa, Dana Kaiser, and Cassie Arnell. The achievement of the members of SACI in organizing the “1st Bowling Tournament 2005” is a true testament to what can be accomplished through collective effort driven by talent and an insatiable hunger to reach a goal.

The work carried out by the Bowling Committee composed of Herman Santa, Rico Arnell, and Leticia Goff was key in encouraging the members to practice for the event. A special shout-out to Rico, who is unwell and recovering from surgery and was unable to participate in the tournament. We hope he gets better soon and returns to club activities. I cannot conclude without making a special mention of the members, guests, and sponsors who were present for this great event. The sponsors were: Albert Sabina from Scripps, Rea Anne Ospina from Premier Service Mortgage, Blanca Kaiser from Realty Unlimited GMAC, Ivonne Fraga from La Voz, Juan and Gladys Piñeiro from El Caribe Restaurant in Palm City, and Carlos David Ramirez from Centro Latino. Thank you for such generous donations.
