Fraternal Order of Eagles
Bowling Tourney Returns to Castaways

LAS VEGAS, NV - After a two-year absence, the Fraternal Order of Eagles (F.O.E.) Bowling tournament is returning to the Castaway Hotel Casino Bowling Center where it began 36 years ago.

"We're positively delighted that the Eagles bowling tournament is returning to the Castaways," said tournament organizers William Hutchison and George Sanders. "This tournament started at the old Showboat Lanes over three decades ago and we couldn't be happier that it's returning to the place where it all started," they added.

The tournament, which will run Friday through Sunday, August 10-12, will feature 130 four-person teams foe a total of 525 participants from F.O.E. "aeries" across the state and region. AMF will donate bowling equipment as prizes, and the Castaways will be providing approximately $1,050 in charitable donations to the event.

The tournament's primary purpose is to raise money foe local and national charities. Monies raised during this event will benefit a number of local charities in South Nevada. According to tournament officials, last year's F.O.E. bowling raised approximately $6,000. The goal foe this year's tournament is $10,000.

Founded in 1989, the Fraternal Order of Eagles is a national philanthropic and fraternal order with approximately 800,000 members nationwide.
