THE SASSY SPLITS ENDS ITS RUN WITH THE BROADWAY SHOW LEAGUE
THURSDAY, DECEMBER 14TH AT 11:15PM
WITH A HOLIDAY PARTY AND AWARDS CEREMONY OF THEIR OWN!

THE FESTIVIES HAVE BEEN AT FRAMES PORT AUTHORITY
BOWLING LANES, 40TH & 9TH AVENUE

We’ve had a BLAST with the Broadway Show Bowling League this Fall. It's been every Thursday from August 31 st through December 14th! A long run! Hard to get members to stay up that late, but hey, most of you were there “in the day!” Matter of fact DO40 friend and producer Ed Gaynes and his wife Pamela Hall were the 1973 bowling WINNAHS (we asked them to come and help but they said it was after their bedtime now)! 

Thanks to our all our participants over the past four months who have trekked to the Port Authority/Hell’s Kitchen and 9 th Avenue to form our Sassy Splits team: Alan Onickel, Mary McCatty, Christine Lemme, John Sefakis, Fran Sperling, Sara Odze, Lawrence Leritz, Ken Bloom, Gayle Stahlhuth, DJ Salsbury, Patrick McCarthy, Bernie Stote, Domenic Henriquez, team leaders Loni Ackerman and Bobby Hedglin- Taylor and cheerleaders Leni Anders and Sharon Wendrow. Everyone got great t- shirts and had good food each week! It was great meeting people from the League, and getting to know cast and crews! We WERE nominated for 2023 Mx. Congeniality, the only team to be nominated (against single bowlers from the Broadway shows). We didn’t win, a member of the huge team of SOME LIKE IT HOT took the crown. But we were up there and got known around the lanes, as they say! And we didn’t finish LAST as a team – or next to last, either! We beat ALADDIN, A BEAUTIFUL NOISE and Circle in the Square to end up 2 th out of 28 teams. And one of our members came in 5 nd (I won’t say whom, as to not discourage our other team members!) out of 405 bowlers! Well, a HUGE handicap helped! (Who knew it was like golf?!?!?!?) 

Thanks to all of our members and friends who joined us in this sporty event! We would LOVE to continue with the League’s Spring Season, but unfortunately, our DO40 budget is unable to come up with an additional $3,000.00 in lane and food costs. If there is a Bowling Benefactor out there, contact dancersover40@aol.com ASAP!
