#1 Have Fun
#2 Get to Know the many people with whom we work
In Indianapolis we have 90 plus employees so we thought team building “with a theme” would be fun. The bowling teams are made up of people from various departments and a general theme is established. Based on the theme the teams compete not only for bowling scores but a competition is organized for best name and best “costumes”. Yes, our people go over the top being creative and competitive. Themes have included Decades – Where each team had a different decade 50’s 60’s 70’s and so on. Our hat theme was a hoot and this year’s sock theme was more fun than expected when the Loose Socks won for their shirts with odd socks stuck to them and one guy wearing a washing machine made from a box and another cut a hole in the laundry basket and wore it at his waist. Hilarious…and quite clever. The people at Woodland Bowling Center treat us like gold and for
some reason they give us a private area as far away from their patrons as possible. GRIN… We always get comments about how much fun we appear to be having and we are loud. This year we were presented with our own bowling pin complete with our logo and a thank you to our company. We appreciated it and it’s proudly displayed in our reception area.The person who is the most fun in our group is the owner of the company Jim Roe who loves to put his wallet right by the lane offering it to you if you make a strike…”under the pressure”…. He’s been lucky and hasn’t had to pay out yet, but some day he’ll pick the wrong person to bet against. Jim believes good business is based on good relationships and “The Golden Rule”. He is intently dedicated to giving us the tools we need to be successful. We only need to work hard and work smart....and as you might guess, have fun.
It’s a wonderful time and each year we propose other team building ideas but bowling at Woodland Bowling Center always wins. It should be noted that not all our people bowl, so we organize card games but many just love to be spectators and cheerleaders for their team. Everyone is a part of a team and there is money for the winners!
Most importantly we recommend hands down that you organize your next business or personal fun event at Woodland Bowling Center. We’ll be happy to share with you how we organize ours. Woodland knows how to reach us.

To the teams of Arlington/Roe,
Thank you for having your event at Woodland Bowling Center every year. We do our best to host team building events in Indianapolis. Arlington/Roe has the idea down right. These people were dressed in the silliest costumes and all having a great time! I walked in and noticed the socks right away. How I noticed that over the tall guy in the pink leotard and big wig is beyond me!
We appreciate your business and your great attitude. See you again next year!
