Yoga is a great way for your kids to learn concentration and focus, while making fun movements with their bodies. Even better, it’s a fantastic way for you to take a little break while your kid(s) enjoy themselves. It’s a win-win.

Children whose age does not exceed a limit by a participating bowling center are eligible to register for 2 free games a day, all summer long, courtesy of the participating bowling centers along with the schools and organizations.

How the program works:

• All of the participating bowling centers are listed at http://www.kidsbowlfree.com/all_centers.php.
• Select a bowling center near you.
• Register directly on the bowling center page (The registration is valid only at the bowling center where you register and cannot be used at any other bowling center unless otherwise noted.)
• Once you register, you will have the opportunity to purchase the family pass. The Family Pass was created to allow for adult family members to enjoy bowling throughout the summer as well. The Family Pass starts from $23.95 and includes 2 GAMES PER PERSON PER DAY. The Family Pass covers up to 4 adult family members. You may have 1, 2, 3, or 4 adults on the family pass.

When do you receive the coupons and family pass?

The “program start” and “program end” dates are listed on the bowling center page that you register with. You can sign up for the program before the start date, but the coupons and family passes will not be loaded into your account until the start date has occurred.

Once the program has begun, we will send you an email every Sunday morning that contains a link to your coupons and family passes for that week. It is not required that you view this email to print your coupons.

Simply login to your account at anytime once the program has started to print your coupons and family passes.

Back in January, Libby Burks and Amanda Huhman, both 13-year-olds at Columbia Catholic School, discovered zootoo.com, a Web site that Libby’s mother, Liz Burks, described as a “Facebook site for pets.”

Users can post comments, questions, pictures and product reviews, and the site is also sponsoring its second $1 million makeover contest for one lucky shelter.

“It’s refreshing … that two young gals are doing this,” Liz Burks said. “We keep hearing so much about” the Central Missouri Humane Society, “how they need help and money.” Amanda and Libby “are not asking for a dime, just asking for a few minutes of your time.”
