El Portal Bowling League is starting up once again, with an informational meeting set for Thursday, Sept. 8 at 9:15 a.m. at McHenry Bowl in Modesto. The bowlers, who compete each week on the lanes, raise money for the El Portal Science Camp trips and last year donated $1,500 to the school to help finance the educational excursion. You can have fun bowling, meet new friends and support local school kids at the same time.
