Kudos to the team at Civitan International Headquarters for their assistance in creating this site. This site best viewed with Netscape 3.0 or Explorer 3.02 and higher. Contact Jim Willett at the UAB Civitan Center to report any technical problems on this site. This month's special feature is dedicated to the Civitan Club of Dundas, Ontario, Canada. The Civitan Club of Dundas proudly sponsors the 40-member Alley Cats Special Olympics Bowling League.
Civitan members coordinate the league's activities and also provide coaching for the athletes.
Dundas formed the league in 1990 because there was a need for recreational opportunities for people with developmental disabilities living in the area. These athletes range in age from teens to early 50s, and play each Saturday from September to April. They end their season with an awards banquet recognizing sportsmanship and overall effort. While some of the bowlers have gone on to compete in Provincial tournaments, the emphasis has always been on sportsmanship, participation and fun.
