The Tarpon Springs Lions Club hosted an 8-Pin No Tap Tournament Bowl-a-Thon and Chinese auction Nov. 15 at Tarpon Lanes to raise money for Southeastern Guide Dogs.

Sixty-five bowlers of all ages, including two teams whose members are blind or visually impaired, competed for the top three trophies.

A representative for Southeastern Guide Dogs was in attendance with an 8-month-old puppy in training to become a guide dog for a visually disabled person.

Last year, the Lions Club raised $1,000 to benefit Southeastern Guide Dogs, and matched that amount again this year.
