Special Events Organized by
St. Croix Valley Disability Coalition

The Stepping Stones Bowling League meets twice a month (every other Tuesday) from 3 pm - 5 pm at Gibby’s Lanes in New Richmond.  Persons from St. Croix Cty make up the teams.  They bowl for social benefits and camaraderie.  Many have worked together before, but several met through this league and have established long term friendships.  Transportation responsibilities are shared between the St. Croix Industries Transportation Service, parents/caregivers and Traci Bauer of United Cerebral Palsy – West Central WI (Community Services Coordinator).     Members of this league have the opportunity to bowl in the Bowling Tournament every other summer as well.
