As we stated last week, the bowling season for 2011/2012 is dwindling down. One sure sign of that is the annual Senior Tourney, which this year will be held April 28th and 29th, with the 1st day being at Bulan’s, and the 2nd being at Lincoln. More info is available at each center. If you need a flyer, e-mail me at illianabowling@gmail.com and I can send you one back. I missed bowling in it last year, but will be rolling in it this year, will you?
Also, at the end of each year, each league usually elects new officers, and many are begging for people to run for office. I would encourage you to see if that is the case in your league and put your hat in the ring. Hey, even if you don’t win, you are a winner, as you volunteered to be a part of the group. For your info, I will be listing each office that most leagues have in the next couple of weeks, and what their duties entail. Many of us do not realize how much our leaders really do. This week, I will cover, possibly one of the most important, and busiest of all offices, the League Secretary.
The Secretary/League Official is responsible for:
· Keeping minutes of all league meetings. Minutes should include the meeting date, time and location, names of those attending, and details of the decisions made.
· Distributing a copy of the league rules, and approved prize list to each team captain and officer and posting of the league schedule or providing a copy for each captain.
· Passing out individual USBC membership application cards to each league member as they join and collecting completed cards and membership dues. Forwarding the completed membership application cards, membership dues and USBC league application to the respective USBC association secretary within 30 days of the start of the league. Membership card applications and applicable fees for additional members shall also be forwarded to the local association manager(s) within 30 days of receipt.
· Posting or providing a current standing sheet, which includes a list of league bowlers and substitutes.
· Reporting and submitting applications for awards as required by USBC rules.
· Notifying league members of league and association meetings; and notifying the association of any changes in officers, schedules or bowling centers.
· Turning in season-ending averages to the appropriate USBC local bowling association.
· Providing the final league standings to the league treasurer.
· Maintaining, writing and filing all league correspondence.
· Furnishing the next league secretary with all records and materials.
NOTE: In leagues using computer and/or average service, the elected secretary remains responsible for all the duties specified in USBC Rule 102e.
An additional duty that we request that the secretary do, is to submit a report each week to us, so the members of each league get the recognition they deserve.
Next week, will be the Treasurer, even tho some leagues combine both this and the secretary.
In the Tuesday Nite Go-Getters, Fred Fultz not only rolled 51 pins over average for a 156, but he also bowled 101 pins over his series average. Tony Dompe picked up both the 2-7, and 9-10 splits, while Lacee Bays got rid of the 3-10. The regular season for the Go Getters has now concluded, except for the 1st place roll off this coming Tuesday nite. The leaders for the 1st half, Always Late will roll against the 2nd half leaders, Wolf Creek Golf for the season champions. Good luck to both teams. Judy Marriage knocked out the 5-10 split in the Tuesday morning ladies league in Westville. In the DNA Karaoke League, Ruth Campbell and Marilyn Ruffner picked up the 3-10 split, June Bechtold picked up the 9-10 split and Ann Minnette picked up the 5-10 split. In the Senior League, Bob Coburn bowled 54 pins over his game average with a 178 while Bill McDaniel was 70 pins over his average with a 215. Both Raymond Berlin and Judy Arnett converted the 5=6-10, Clarence Martin knocked out the 2-7, and Gerald Arnett made the 5-7 split disappear.
The Monday nite No-Tap league is reporting that Jeremy Randolph once again had the high game for the nite, but just barely. Randolph had a 279 and a 779 series. J, and Jimmy Scruggs was only 4 pins behind with a 275, 70 pins over average and 677 series. J.R. Scruggs topped out with a 694 series, and Robbie Ketcherside finished up with a 690 series. The following bowlers rolled 50 or more pins over their averages: Terry Jones, 53 pins over for a 251, Finas Glenn, 52 over for a final of 244, Richard Morgan also was 53 over, for a 226 game, while Nancy Goodner was 87 pins above her average for a 243. Pam Jones converted the 2-7-10 split.
Until next week, let’s have fun and knock ‘em down. See you at the lanes.
