Happy Time Bowling

Capital City Civitan works to support the mission of Civitan International by focusing on projects that help individuals with disabilities in our community, region, state and country, such as the Happy Time Bowling project!

Happy Time Bowling began in 1967, so this project is over 50 years old!  Janelle Martin met with then club president, Bob Osbeck, and suggested Capital City Civitan start a recreational project for handicapped citizens.  The members of the club approved, and Happy Time Bowling was launched.  Almost all members have been involved with this project, including Woodie Weston, who organized the project for many years and is believed to have given it the current name.

Happy Time Bowling is now a weekly recreational event on Tuesdays from 4:00 - 5:00 p.m., September - May, where adults with developmental disabilities who live in the Raleigh area can bowl a game or two at AMF Pleasant Valley Lanes. 
Also, twice a year, bowlers enjoy a party to celebrate the holidays (December) and finish out the year (May).

As a club, we organize by weekly teams so that each club member can look forward to helping out when it fits their schedule.  Details are posted on the Club Meetings & Events page and this year's Happy Time Bowling calendar can be downloaded below.  Please share it!
