PNA 75th National Bowling Tournament

The PNA’s Bowling Tournament has long been one of our grand events organized for our members.

The 75th National Bowling Tournament was held on April 29 and 30, 2022, in Chicago, IL. Bowlers gathered at the Habetler Bowling Center for their assigned squads. The singles and doubles events took place on Friday afternoon, and the teams bowled on Saturday.

The opening ceremonies took place on Friday. First, Vice President Marian Grabowski welcomed President Frank Spula, National Secretary Alicja Kuklinska, Treasurer Steve Tokarski, Chief Financial Officer Jim Gura, and the bowlers to our 75^th National Bowling Tournament. He also thanked Habetler Bowl’s Management Team for their hospitality. Next, Vice President Grabowski introduced the PNA guests: Director Irene Hercik, Fraternal Advisor Barbara Wesolowski, former Director Anna Wierzbicki, former Commissioner of District 12 Jerry Hejna, and District 13 Commissioners Wanda Juda and Joseph Hercik.

Vice President Grabowski called on President Spula to throw the first ball, and then threw the second ball to officially start the tournament.

Thank you to all the bowlers who participated in the tournament!
