Hitting the Lanes: Capital Area Rainbowlers Association
Whether novice or veteran, the Capital Area Rainbowlers Association likely has a league for you
Lace up your shoes and polish your balls — the Capital Area Rainbowlers Association (CARA) is seeking new members from D.C.’s LGBT community. And whether you’re an experienced hand or you don’t know the difference between a strike and a spare, there’s room for you in any one of CARA’s nine weekly bowling leagues. “You’ll pick up the basics of the game your first night,” says CARA’s Robert Treadway. “All of our members are open to teaching others.”
Each league meets weekly at a designated bowling alley, either in D.C. or in Northern Virginia. Membership fees range from $15 to $20 per league. CARA also holds special tournaments throughout the year, with occasional skill enhancement clinics to improve bowling techniques. Leagues are also a great way to socialize and make new friends. Says Treadway: “I’ve met some of my best friends through CARA.”
The Capital Area Rainbowlers Association (CARA) has nine bowling leagues that meet every week, with sites in Annandale, Alexandria, Falls Church, Chantilly, and the District of Columbia. For meeting times and details on each league, visit carabowling.org.
