The Elmbrook Education Foundation is sponsoring its Annual Bowling Ball on Saturday, March 17 from 6:30 PM to Midnight. It will be held at the New Berlin Entertainment Center (formerly Kuglitsch's), located at 1600 West Cleveland Avenue, in between Calhoun and Moorland Roads.

The E.E.F. is a private group of citizens whose existence goes back to the late 1950's and whose purpose is to support the students and programs of the Elmbrook Schools. It does so by raising money via private donations, business contributions, and fund raising events. Funds raised by the Foundation are disbursed in the form of grants to our eleven schools and scholarships for our students. The grants are for the purchase of materials and/or equipment; a recent example of which was $800 for the purchase of some mathematics software for special education students at Swanson Elementary. The scholarships are awarded directly to deserving students who exhibit outstanding performance in the area of academics, leadership and service to both their schools and the community. Since its inception, the E.E.F. has given out over $750,000 dollars in scholarships to over eight hundred students.

The Bowling Ball is a major fund-raiser for the Foundation and is a repeat of last year's greatly successful event in Menomonee Falls. This year's Ball will feature refreshments, a buffet dinner, bowling, blackjack, silent auctions, live auctions, and more. It's a terrific way to celebrate St. Patrick's Day and the advent of spring, all while supporting a great cause right in our own back yard.

Dress is casual and the environment is low key and fun.
