Cloverleaf Family Bowl

11 months ago today was the last day that Cloverleaf Family Bowl was open to the public. For the most part, the Bowling Industry has been forced closed in the ...state of California for 11 months. If owners would have thought this was even possible back in March of 2020, then so many more centers would be closed. Prayers to those trying to hang on until California opens up the bowling industry.

Stopped by yesterday. First time in 6 weeks. Sad to see the place and not be able to go inside. The place looked lonely. Side door had a visitor on Christmas. Pretty sure it wasn’t Santa.

Hard to believe it’s New Years! I can’t even guess the last year I wasn’t at Cloverleaf or Fremont Bowl for the New Years parties. I’ll miss everyone. Three full parties every year. The families that made this a tradition with kids and parents and relatives and friends. Happy New Year Everyone!!

Merry Christmas to everyone near and far. I sure miss seeing everyone. I miss doing what we would normally be doing this time of year.

Some years back, we received a great surprise on the holidays. One of our community members made this Cloverleaf Family Bowl Gingerbread Bowling Center. It was ...awesome. Barbara Walton, the creator, shared this on the local Facebook page but this was too good not to share with everyone else. See more

We will be open for your Christmas shopping needs. Limited schedule. Saturday the 12 & 19th: from 11-2pm Tuesday the 15th & 22nd from 2-7pm Thursday the 17th f...rom 2-7pm If you can make an appointment. Trying not to get people together if I can help it. Must wear a mask. Let’s keep everybody safe. Call for a appointment 925-828-0378

I hope everyone saw Bowling in the parade this morning. But just in case you missed it ...

Edit 12/5: I am reading through the messages. I can’t thank you enough for so many loving and thoughtful comments. It’s a bit of a tough time. I’d like to resp...ond to every comment but please know that I’m catching up and deeply touched by all of the reactions and memories. A parting message with some final pictures. Thank you to our amazing staff over the years. The community support that kept us going for 57 years. All the love in the world to our community and Bowling Family. Thanks For The Memories

This is a last call for sections of the original wood bowling lanes. Each piece is 42 wide and they are available by length. $20 / foot. Souvenir or table to...ps or workbenches. Some sections are Maple and other sections are Pine. You can let me know here or message me. Or stop by abd see if we have any sections already cut. We prefer advance notice. All lanes must be picked up by Sunday. I will be there 10-3 over the weekend and I’ll be there for a bit tomorrow

The party is over

Happy Thanksgiving to all of our families. Our Bowling Families and our Community of Family. We miss you all!

We are entering our final week. I will be at Cloverleaf on Saturday from 9-3 and Sunday from 10-3. Please pick up t-shirts if you’ve ordered. Those waiting on t...he mail then hopefully you are receiving those. Some have been shipped and more yet to go. Those who have lane pieces to pick up please stop by. I am extremely sorry for some who requested arrows that those were over promised as a couple of us were writing them down so I will be disappointing some. We do have lane sections available. I currently have some 5’ and 6’ sections already cut and available. They are HEAVY!!! Stop in and buy some wood lanes. Maple and Pine sections available.

To my Bowling Family and Friends, I am very excited to share that I have the opportunity to stay in bowling and stay close to home. I am joining the Family at ...Earl Anthony’s Dublin Bowl. I am grateful for this opportunity and I want to thank Jamie Celotti and Marilynn Hoffman for giving me this chance. I am looking forward to seeing many familiar faces and I look forward to meeting some new friends and family. For the Cloverleaf Family, I hope some of you will make the drive to join me. Wish me luck! Wish them luck!

I’ve received notification today that the T-Shirts should arrive by the end of the week. I’ll need to inventory over 1300 shirts and then start the distribution process.

Shirts are back in production. If you have not paid for your ordered shirts, please click the link below. If you would like to order, please message me the si...zes and use the link for payment. Shirts are $15.00 + $5.00 if you need me to mail the shirt(s) to you. Pick-up at Cloverleaf will be available! See more

So ... any input for the new design for the back of the shirts??? Do either of these work? The Cloverleaf Logo will be on the front of the shirt. (Small logo on left "pocket")

I hope this isn't where our lanes end up.

Hoping that everyone who has ordered the t-shirt reads this update. Orders are still being taken. We DO HAVE A DELAY! Someone has alerted Warner Bros. of our s...hirt and I have been contacted with an infringement notification. I have not been able to reach the company at the posted number. I may have to redesign the back of the shirts because possibly Warner Bros. may not be happy with our choice of artwork. I would hope and think that this will not cause an issue with any previous orders. Let me know if you want to cancel your order. If you haven't paid for your shirts yet, please click the link!

9/18: Hoping that everyone who has ordered the t-shirt reads this update. Orders are still being taken. We DO HAVE A DELAY! Someone has alerted Warner Bros. ...of our shirt and I have been contacted with an infringement notification. I have not been able to reach the company at the posted number. I may have to redesign the back of the shirts because possibly Warner Bros. may not be happy with our choice of artwork. I would hope and think that this will not cause an issue with any previous orders. Let me know if you want to cancel your order. Hello ... if you haven't paid for your shirts yet, please click the link! https://form.jotform.com/202518038027045 Edit : I’m sorry, the edits seem to be the best way to reach you all. I noticed that this post was shared over 70 times (crazy to me) so the issue is due to some privacy settings etc., I can’t see all of the shares and I don’t see the comments. So if someone has placed an order on a shared post, I may not have it. So I suggest that those message me or post on my original post or the Cloverleaf shared post. Those I have access to and can get your order. I have liked or reacted to every order. So if I haven’t on your shirt request, a good chance that I don’t have your order. Thank you ALL for this unbelievable showing of support!!! Edit: OMG ... I posted this and had customers in to share stories etc about Cloverleaf. I came back now and see that I need more than 80 shirts. This is incredible and I thank you for your support! I am guessing the shirts will be $15.00 and all profits will go to scholarships for youth bowlers. Now to find time to go through all of the messages and change my original order!!!!!!! T-Shirts are ordered ... hopefully they will be here within 2 weeks. Cloverleaf logo 1963-2020 on front pocket and you see the artwork for the back of the t-shirts. I will let you know the price and availability when they arrive. The initial order is only 80 t-shirts.
