BETTER OFF BOWLING SPRING REGISTRATION BY 3/18

Better Off Bowling is a co-ed social bowling league for young professionals that runs on Sunday afternoons during the spring. They have a bunch of young professionals along with a number of other school alum groups and usually have ~400 fun social people in the league. They've contacted us hoping we would be interested in getting a team or two together (does not have to be all alums though). Registration ends March 18, and the league starts rolling March 24th!

As Fighting Irish alums, we get a $10 off registration discount with the code: DCALUM0313
