What a great bunch of people! I had the loveliest time at the Dartmouth Lawn Bowls Club over the weekend. We just awarded the Dartmouth Lawn Bowls with a $24,800 grant so they can purchase new equipment to allow seniors to continue to take part in the game, with safe and appropriate equipment. This [...]
