Where did the season go? It seems just like yesterday when the bowling season started, and here we are winding down. Time sure does fly when you are having fun. The winter leagues start towards the end of August, and ends in the middle of April. I would like to thank all of you who took the time to submit a report for your league this past season, and look forward to working with you and even others who might want to help out and let us know what your league is doing. We will not be writing another column until the end of August, but you can keep up with us, by checking our blog located at http://tucksbowlingforfun.blogspot.com. At the blog site, you will be able to find past columns for the past 2 years. If you are in a summer league, feel free to submit a bowling report at illianabowling@gmail.com. Please ask for what type of info I am looking for. This past week, I had the pleasure of bowling with some of the youth group from Danville’s First Assembly, one young lady in particular really seemed to enjoy the sport. Stormi might consider joining a youth league as her enthusiasm was very contagious.
The last couple of weeks we have been describing the duties of league officers. This week we will conclude with the Treasurer.
The Treasurer is responsible for:
· Working with the president to open an account in the league name at an insured and recognized bank, credit union or in-house banking service, with at least two league officers’ signatures required for all withdrawals. Account statements are mailed to the President for verification purposes.
· Depositing funds in the league account within seven (7) days of receipt.
· Working with the league president to verify the league’s account balance at least once per month.
· Collecting league fees each session and paying the bowling center.
· Issuing a check or money order made payable to the local association to cover membership dues.
· Advising the league president and secretary if any league members are delinquent in paying league fees.
· Providing each team with a detailed financial statement when the prize fund is distributed; including receipts, disbursements and transactions, and prize recipients’ names and earnings.
· Distributing the prize fund within 21 days after the league schedule ends, unless the board or USBC decides otherwise.
· Giving financial reports on request by the league president or board.
· Turning over all league books, papers and monies to the next league treasurer. All financial records —regardless if in the possession of the former or current treasurer — must be retained for one (1) year after the league schedule ends.
We have 3 leagues reporting for our season’s finale. The Tuesday Morning Ladie’s League from the Westville Legion reports that recently Jo Ann Brooks picked up the 3-10 split, while Martha Hance converted the 2-9-10.
In Senior League bowling, Clara Copsy was 58 pins over her game average with a 182. Ernie Harvey was 58 pins over his game average, with a 239 game, while Ed Reed bowled 55 pins over his game average, with a 245 game. Mr. Excitement, Charlie Graul was 57 pins over his game average with a 190 game. Covering the splits were Shirley Reynolds, Jim Thomas and Joe Davis, all of who picked up the 3-10 while Donna Berlin slapped down the 5-10.
The Monday nite No-Tap league has 2 reports to give you. The 1st will be from Monday, April 9, and then from Monday April 16th.
On April 9th: 3 men had series scores of 675 or higher. J.R. Scruggs, with a 695, Jeff Lane, with a 690, and Robbie Ketcherside, with a 681. Lane had a high game of 262, which is 81 pins over his 181 average. 194 average bowler Finas Glenn, topped out 53 pins over with a 247. Krystle “Tutu” Evans rolled 61 pins over her 146 average for a 207, while Leean Palmer reached 202, 65 pins over her 137 average. We cannot forget that Louise Cunningham went above her 130 average by 63 pins to obtain a 193 game. Juanita Wrightsman and Glenn both converted the 5-7. In April 16th action, Jeremy Randolph once again make the column with a 724 series. Quite a few bowlers topped 50 or more pins over their averages, including Brad Wheeler who bowled 51 pins over for a 209. Jeff Lane topped his 183 average by 72 pins for a final score of 255. 198 average bowler Terry Jones reached 277, while knocking out 79 pins over his average. Joe Davis, another tutu lover, topped out at 278, 61 pins over his 217 average. There is something about tutus in this league. Richard Davis had a 242, 78 pins over his 164 average. Larry Craft rolled a 218, 57 pins over his 161 average, and ending up with Nancy Goodner with a 228, which was 69 pins over her 157 average. Pam Jones picked up the 5-10 split.
Just a reminder that the Danville area Senior tournament will be held on April 28th and 29th. On the 28th, there will be 2 squad times, 10 am and 1pm, at Bulan Lanes. The final day on the 29th will be at 1pm at Lincoln Lanes. The top 5 bowlers will have a step ladder roll off to determine the winner. Entry forms are available at both centers. I will be there, will you?
This is the last column for this season. It has been a lot of fun, and we hope you have enjoyed reading it each week. Look for us again towards the end of August. In the mean time, you might see me at the bowling center or even walking down Vermilion St.
Have a great summer.
