OPPORTUNITY TO BECOME INVOLVED WITH LAWN BOWLING
          What is it?  New member Daniel Jittu knows all about it and would like for Sister Cities folk to get to know it as well.
          On
 November 5-19, and November 4-18, 2017, The City of Sarasota will be holding the US Lawn Bowling Open.  The 2017 Open marks the Club’s 90th anniversary in Sarasota.  Few clubs have been in our community as long as the bowling club. 
          The Club is located just north of the Memorial Auditorium.
          Bowls or lawn bowls is a sport in which the objective is to roll biased balls so that they stop close to a smaller ball called a "jack" or "kitty". It is played on a bowling green which may be flat or convex or uneven. It is normally played outdoors and the outdoor surface is either natural grass or artificial turf.  Today the sport is played in over 40 countries with more than 50 member national authorities. The home of the modern game is still Scotland with the World Bowls center in Edinborough.
          We are exploring ways to help the Sarasota Lawn Bowling Club with its US Open.
