She has been a member of the Newburgh Women’s 600 Club as a director for 5 years and as secretary since 2004. She has been a NYS convention delegate 9 years and a National delegate 2 years.

She gave countless hours of her time to the bowling community while managing her home and holding a full time job as an Accountant and Payroll Supervisor for 33 years at Nepera Chemical. She was also a member and officer of the Little Britain Grange for 20 years, cooking for and serving up those two delicious oyster dinners every year.

Helen has bowled in 40+ local tournaments, 20 NYS tournaments, 5 National tournaments and 10 NYS Senior tournaments. She has bowled in Woodbury Women’s League for 3 years, the Friday Night Classic in Monroe for 27 years and served as Vice-President and Secretary-treasurer, the Friday Night Classic at Tarsio’s for 9 years serving as Vice-President, Sargent-at- Arms and President, the Algonquin Women’s League for 17 years serving as treasurer, and the Jennie Consorti League for 12 years serving on the prize and banquet committees.

Helen is now retired and gives freely of her time caring for two of her family members with medical needs. But she still exhibits her same work ethic of serving her fellow bowlers.

Thanks Helen. We appreciate all you have done!

Congratulations Helen!
