Rock 'N Bowl Thursday, Help Police Explorers

Where can you spend $10 to rock out and bowl at the same time?

Pikesville AMF Lanes is the place.

And the event is the set for 7-9 p.m. Thursday. It includes bowling during those two hours, and a silent auction.

Auction items include Ravens and Orioles memorabilia, said Officer Keith Ketterman of the Baltimore County Police Department's .

Participate in the event to help young, ambitious people ages 14-21 who are members of the Baltimore County Police Explorer Program.

This police-mentored group from the Pikesville and Franklin precincts hopes to attend a conference this summer that's important to each Explorer's development in law enforcement: The National Law Enforcement Exploring Conference.

There they will learn more law enforcement skills and will compete against thousands of other Explorers from throughout the U.S.

It's held in Fort Collins, CO, and, with the cost of gasoline, airfare and car rentals rising, it now takes more money to get there, said Ketterman.

So far, the group has raised $2,600 for the trip, but they need $4,000 more, Ketterman said.

For more info, or to buy tickets, call Ketterman at 410-887-6775, or Officer Andy Kauffman of the Franklin precinct, at 410-887-6985.
