I have decided to make a switch from our normal meet and greet routine by planning a non-food related event. We're going BOWLING! Please join us and show off your skills and techniques. Have a ton of fun and burn a few calories at the same time.
Did you know 1 hour of bowling burns 259 calories?
If you're early out from your procedure don't worry. There will be plenty of time to socialize and lounge with the group if you're not up to lifting the bowling balls yet. We can cheer the others on from the sidelines.

Atlanta, GA 30341

bowling alley.

children, & friends.
ENJOY: Bowling, friends, and fun!

friends in person!
COST: Bowling $6 per game / Shoe rental $5 per pair /
