Dear Mr. Boffice,
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to appeal to the Village to *11ow us to
continue operation of the game room at Elk Grove Bowl in the same manner as It
presently exists.
The majority of the games at Elk Grove Bowl are located in the game area of our
billiard room. The reason we chose to put the games there is so we could monitor
the area from the front desk and maintain order and crowd control at all times.
This room has housed 15 games since permission was given 2 112 years ago to
build it. The character of Elk Grove Bowl would only be changed if we are
required to remove theme games.
For over 30 years Elk Grove Bowl has maintained order with only a minimum of
minor disturbances (none relating to amusement games). It is a place where
Village residents can enjoy bowling,billiards, games, food and drink in a safe,
wholesome, family environment.
The games at Elk Grove Bowl are not the primary source of Income for us but they
are integral to our continued success. Diversification in the recreation industry
is essential in todays competitive environment. Todays bowling center needs to
offer various entertainment options, and games Are an accepted and expected
activity here as well as at other bowling centers.
We am appealing to the village to allow us to continue operation with the number
of games that we currently have. Our reputation for clean, healthy, family fnn is
most important to us. I assure you that we will do all we can to maintain it.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Respectfully yours,
Gary S. Handier
Elk Grove Bowl Inc.
