Peterborough Bowlerama

March 26, 2010, Peterborough Bowlerama was the site of Central East District Office’s First annual ‘Glo-Bowl’ tournament. Anyone rolling in would have heard much laughter and cheering as 95 bowlers, ranging from 5 to 80 years young raised $2300.00 for the Power of One Campaign while challenging ‘aces’ and ‘head-pin splits’. Eddie Voutier became the reigning High Score champion, and looks forward to defending his title next year.

Growing for Global


My name is Braydon Paige and I am the PM who apparently is looking like Farley Mowat. I call it...."Growing for Global". A couple of my staff members said you should grow a beard and not shave it until the deadline of The Power of One. I must say it has been treacherous so far and my wife and kids aren't to happy...lol with the whole beard thing. I am committed to keeping the beard and not shaving it until Mar 22/10. At that time I will allow the highest bidder to shave it off.
