We are pleased to report that there is significant interest for Blind Bowling in the city of Asheville, NC. Organized bowling was introduced to this region of our state in 2004 and 2005 when the CBA tournament and shootout was held in Hendersonville, NC. Now we have 20 persons who are blind or visually impaired who wish to bowl competitively with other visually impaired bowlers across our state and nation. As of Friday, February 25, 2011 the Asheville Blind Bowlers league will be formed. In the coming weeks the organization will decide on a permanent league name, league colors and logo and team names. The organization will be soliciting support from the Asheville Lions Clubs, Asheville Parks and Recreation and Buncombe County Parks and Recreation. It is our hope that through these organizations and a commitment from the league members a successful program will be realized in Asheville. For more information please contact CBA Outreach Coordinator James Benton at silverbenton@bellsouth.net or by phone at 919-755-0700.
