Striking Out for a Good Cause

The GBA team shown in the picture includes (l to r) Doug Carpenter, Rob Kline, Geoff Vohs, and Jim Jarrett along with his daughter Abriel Jarrett. Geoff is with Johnson County Public Works. The team came in first place (B-Flight) with a total pin count of 1,835. According to Rob Kline it was truly a team effort. Way to go team!

Although first place is always nice, the real reason behind playing the game was even nicer. This was the Second Annual ‘Feed the Need to Strike Out Hunger Bowling Bash’ hosted by Johnson County Government. The poverty level in Johnson County is unfortunately increasing and Johnson County has found a way to help combat this by inviting all departments to host events to 'Feed the Need'. Members of the community are asked to form a team and the money raised goes to support 10 local food pantries serving the County.

The Strike Out Hunger Bowling Bash 2012 was a great event, raising a total of $3,200 for the pantries. GBA was glad to be a part of this effort and looks forward to another victory next year.
