How to Play - 9-Pin No Tap, Scotch Doubles Bowling Rules:

For games 1 and 3, Bowler 1 throws the first shot in each frame.

If he strikes or knocks down 9 (considered a strike in 9-pin, no tap),

the first frame is complete, and his teammate does not throw.

If Bowler 1 doesn't strike or knock down 9, Bowler 2 must get up to shoot the spare.

Game 2 is led by Bowler 2 throwing the first ball.

Ways to Participate


RHK Food Program - Kid-Friendly Food

This year's Rock N Bowl event will include a Kid-Friendly Food collection drive. Everyone signed up for the event who brings a food item donation will receive a free soda from Park Lanes during the event.

Hunger is an issue for our kids! Every time they attend our evening program, they are sent home with a bag of ready-to-eat food items to help sustain them when they are away from us.

These are the items we like to include in their bags:

*Dry Cereal cups/boxes, 1 oz. *Capri Sun Pouches *Fruit Cups *Peanut Butter & Cheese Crackers *Pudding and Gelatin Cups *Cookies * Fruit Snacks *Breakfast and Nutrition Bars * Baked Chips  *100% Juice Boxes

All items must be shelf-stable, non-perishable, non-refrigerated, and wrapped in single servings that can be eaten with the fingers.

Thank you for coming alongside us to help meet a crucial need for many of the kids & teens we serve.

RHK Food Program - Hot Meals

When kids attend our program, they know they will receive a hot meal to fill their tummies, and can go back for seconds if they want more.  

Most often, these meals are provided through generous donors  - businesses, organizations, churches, and individuals - who want to help make sure no child goes home hungry. 

For those occassions when we do not have a meal provider, RHK needs to cover the costs for those meals. Any monetary donations given towards our hot meals program will be a big help in offsetting those costs. 

For those interested in becoming a meal provider, please contact Sierra Parker at 815-962-5067 X112 to set it up. 

Find more information about providing food for our kids at https://www.rockhousekids.org/food-donations.
