18 annual bowling tournament th

First place team Sheri Hazen, Scott Hazen, Jeff Brook & Randy Kerr

Delta REALTORS® Community Service Foundation 18th Annual Bowling Tournament was held on April 29, 2013 at the Harvest Bowl in Brentwood. There were thirty-one teams of four bowlers each; most were outfitted in unique bowling shirts created especially for this major foundation fundraiser.

Recognizing the value that our community service programs have both in providing help where needed and in reminding consumers how our industry is involved in quality of life issues, sponsors made donations for the raffle, helping to assure a successful event.

Winning teams: First Place went to Team 2 Randy, Kerr, Jeff Brook, Sheri Hazen and Scott Hazen. Second Place went to team 27 - Bryan Hogge, Leeann Hogge, Darrell Hanson and Jerry Nicolaisen. Third place went to Team 20 Prudential California Realty, Gretchen Pearson, Jeff Mears, Nancy Valverde and Jerrod Williams. For the men Darrell Hanson took scratch series and Jay Arnold scratch game. For the women Sheri Hazen scratch series and Gretchen Pearson scratch game. The winning team for the shirt contest was a tie between Security Pacific, Get ‘N Lucky, and Dolls with Balls.

Andy Perry with Old Republic Title and Sue Ramsdell ran lane to lane selling raffle tickets and 50/50 tickets. A special thank you to Cathleen Griebling for all the hard work putting this event together. Also to Lori Ogorchock with all the calls getting the teams filled. A big thank you to everyone who donated raffle prizes.

This year’s bowling tournament raised over $2800 for the Delta REALTORS® Community Service Foundation. In addition to the bowling tournament the foundation will hold a Harvest Run and have a Rocktoberfest.

High Series Darrell Hansen

The Board of Directors of the Delta REALTORS® Community Service Foundation, under the direction of President Cutis Holzer, meets monthly on the fourth at 8:45am. Every member is invited to participate in the fund raising events and all are welcome to attend the director’s meeting.
