A few years ago the bowling industry had a campaign that sent portable bowling lanes, pins and balls to troops overseas. The bags the equipment came in were signed by all the bowlers who donated money to cover the cost of the portable bowling lanes. My nephew just returned from Afghanistan after serving there for a year (his 2nd year long deployment). He wasn't serving in the army during those days so he didn't benefit from that program. Dennis has always been a bowler. He started out in the Saturday morning youth league program, bowled in the Indianapolis Teen Traveler's League and continued to league bowl as an adult. His parents are avid bowlers (bowling at Expo Bowl bowling center), his wife and two oldest kids have also bowled in leagues.
Dennis even found a bowling center in South Korea where he could bowl. There wasn't that same luxury in Afghanistan for people in the service. Since returning home to Kansas he has begun bowling again. He and his family have gotten to enjoy the sport of bowling again.
The newest campaign hosted by Royal Pin Leisure Centers is a bowling league called "Adopt A Platoon". Bowlers will be paying their weekly fees with all prize money going to support a platoon. We will send supplies, goodies, games, etc. to try to make their deployment just a little better.
Bowlers have always supported our troops. The Bowlers to Victory Link is the bowling industry's largest charity. Bowlers from all over the country contribute during the campaign every November and all money collected goes to local veteran's hospitals to provide recreational equipment, tvs., and furniture,etc. for visiting families.
Homes for families of patients in veteran's hospitals similar to the Ronald McDonald houses are being built through this foundation.
Thanks to all the generous bowlers for supporting our men and women in uniform.

Royal Pin Leisure Centers is made up of a variety of personalities. Some of us are great bowlers, while others are proud when we bowl 100 in a game.
Much like a huge family there are a wide range of ages, hobbies and interests. We live all over Indianapolis and the surround areas. Depending on where you live and which Center you visit you may have seen one of us, even talked with us, and not really know who we are.
This year we want to not only welcome you into our bowling centers, but also welcome you to get to know our staff. Stop by to bowl and enjoy time with your friends and the Royal Pin family.
We will introduce an employee each week in 2012 and show you a little about their personality through their pet. We have the typical, dogs and cats, but wait until you see the Snake, Flying Squirrel and other unusual pets.
Follow this blog and see how do you relate to our Royal Pin Family? Let us know how you relate to your pet!

Employee since: 1979 Pets name: Raylin Breed: West Highland Terrier How did you choose your pet’s name?
My wife’s name is Lynn. I gave her the pet on anniversary so we decided to combine first names of each Ray + Lynn = Raylin.
How did you get your pet?
Dennis Scott, previous manager of Western Bowl, and I are really close friends. I bought Raylin back when we worked together. What similarities do you and your pet have?
We are both a little hesitant to approach people at first, but once we know its ok, we’re ready to be enjoy the group. What makes your pet special or unique?
Raylin is smart. She seems to watch tv and really likes to watch when other dogs are on. She is like one of their children.
How old? What is his/her birthday? 6 yrs old, I think she was born in September. Do you give her any special treats?
She loves to ride in the car. You can ask her if she wants to go bye-bye and she goes crazy, running right to the door.
