There is still time to be a part of Drake’s team for the Des Moines Corporate Games.  These games are a great way to have fun with colleagues, get a little activity, and represent Drake while doing so.  All events are held after work and on weekends.

We need help filling these teams with upcoming deadlines.  Please consider joining us.

Bowling (coed, women’s, men’s). Deadline to register is June 28.  The coed team plays Tuesday, July 11, and the men’s and women’s teams play on Wednesday, July 12, at Bowlerama Lanes, beginning at 8 p.m. Five players per team. Plenty of openings on all teams.

4-Person Best Shot Golf (women’s, men’s).  Deadline to register is July 5. Event held Sunday, July 16 at 8 a.m. at A.H. Blank Golf Course.  This differs from the coed date, time, and location.  Need two more men for the men’s team and four women for the women’s team.

In addition to the team events, there are several individual events coming up in July that you may be interested in, including a cycling tour ride, 4K and 8K cross country race, a duathlon and triathlon, and a 5K road race.  If you are not into sports, they also have an opportunity for you to donate blood or package meals at Meals from the Heartland.

Signing up is easy—email Linda Feiden at linda.feiden@drake.edu if you are interested in participating in any (or many) of the events above.
