ANNIVERSARY HIGHLIGHT
CELEBRATING 17 YEARS
WITH DOROTHY "DIZ" PETTIT!
Diz grew up at the bowling alley, spending time with friends, meeting new people in leagues, and working on her old Pontiac in her spare time. While employed at the lanes in White Oak, she found a way to combine her love of bowling and hands-on work by learning to maintain the machines she still services today.
​
Since joining the Club, Diz has come to value the strong sense of community. From league nights to summer days with campers, she has built lasting relationships—especially with the younger members she teaches to bowl and keep score. Watching them grow and celebrate milestones, such as their first strike or birthday party at the lanes, remains one of her favorite aspects of the role.
​
Diz brings creativity and care to everything she does. Throughout the year, she transforms the bowling area with festive and cheerful displays—featuring summer suns, Halloween pumpkins, autumn leaves, and holiday colors—adding a warm and welcoming touch that members enjoy each season. A talented sewer, she has also created and gifted nearly 100 custom hats for young members over the years, always taking the time to ask their favorite color.
​
Above all, Diz takes great pride and enjoyment in keeping the lanes running smoothly. She describes working on the historic and complex bowling machines like solving a big puzzle. The ongoing challenge keeps her engaged, and her passion for the craft continues to grow with each repair and discovery.
