After a long, cold, Rochester winter , Martino Flynn, LLC employees combated cabin fever by letting loose at the lanes. Anticipation filled the air as MF employees geared up for the agency’s annual bowling tournament at AMF Fairview Lanes in Fairport, New York. There, 11 teams made up from more than 50 participants competed for the title (and yearlong bragging rights) of “MF Uberbowler 2008.”

Mental and physical preparations were in full swing as the first frame drew near— game faces, check; stretches complete , check; shoes on the right feet, check, check. It was anyone’s game, but as usual, partner Kevin Flynn had a target on his back.

Although Kevin’s goofy antics were popular with the creative and media departments, his trash talk and pro bowl swagger were too much for the rest of the MF team. Office manager Donna Goodwin exclaimed, “He must be stopped,” and that he was by basketball dribblin’, number crunchin’, HR representin’, ladies and gentlemen—Greg Monrad—MF’s human resources manager.

Greg bowled an unprecedented tournament high score of 222 in a single game and  was awarded the 2008 MF Uberbowler title and trophy . This score beat out reigning Uberbowler champion and interactive media buyer Bob Burch, who when leaving the event was overhead saying, “I’ll be back.”

On the flip side, client services’ account supervisor, Gina Piendal, was honored with MF’s first ever lowest score trophy for her effortless 57-point game. Gracious as always, and feeling a certain partner’s dismay, in her acceptance speech, Gina gave a shout out to Kevin saying, “This one’s for the little people. I couldn’t have done it without you.”

Only two trophies were presented that night, but everyone went home a winner!
