OPTIMIST LOB-BALL TOURNAMENT STRIKES OUT

OSHAWA: The proposed first annual Lob-Ball “Guys & Dolls” Lob-Ball tournament has struckout. Event chair Jim McFater had to cancel the three day fundraising event scheduled for May 8th, 9th, 10th at Alexandra Park as not enough teams had applied. “We had about six teams interested in playing” reports McFater from the original proposal of sixteen. Another had displayed sincere interest however the down payment of $150.00 just wasn’t available.

I’m very disappointed reported McFater however if we would have operated we would have operated at a loss.

The intention was to raise enough funds to cover our Youth and Communitys scheduled events  for this summer. Since the lost of Optimist weekly bingo’s  at the Hideaway on January 31st  the Oshawa Club have been seeking and investigating other avenues to require funds. For the past 28 years Optimist bingo has operated for the past twenty-eight years. Currently Oshawa  has an bingo application to operate at the Red Barn commencing on July lst,2009. At present the City of Oshawa licensing bureau awaiting approval.
