Lyndon State strikes again!

Highlighting LSC's newest club.

There’s a new club at LSC that’s striking up a real buzz around campus!
At last Wednesday’s house meeting, the SGA approved the newest student run club on campus, the Lyndon Strikers. The idea for the Strikers came from President Michael Michaud, who thought it would be a good idea to start a club on campus for those students who like to bowl.
“A friend of mine and I love bowling and are always at the insomnia bowl nights, so we wanted to see if we could start a club to get to go [bowling] cheaper,” Michaud said. “We talked to the alley [to see] if they could work something out with us, and they did.”
Michaud started a group on Facebook for the club over the summer to see how much interest a bowling club would attract.
“A lot of people seemed interested, so we started to form it in to a club and here we are now,” Michaud said. His Facebook group currently has a member count of over 50.
The Lyndon Strikers meet Wednesday nights at 9 p.m. at Gold Crown Lanes in St. Johnsbury. Their first official meeting as a club was held last night, and proved to be a success as the alley began to fill up within the first 30 minutes of the meeting.
The bowling alley offers the Strikers discount game prices, along with free shoe rentals. As of right now, members also get to bowl their first games free courtesy of the club. If anyone is interested in learning more about the Lyndon Strikers, they are free to contact Michael Michaud at michael.michaud@lyndonstate.edu, and can be added to the club’s mailing list
So shine up those bowling shoes and get ready to roll. Head to Gold Crown Lanes on Wednesday nights, and check LSC’s newest club out for yourself. You’re sure to have a good time.
