     Calling all tournament directors. Want your tourney advertised? If that’s the case, just drop me a note, and we will try and get your info out there. It would be best if you got your info to me 3 or 4 weeks in advance of that event.  When the tourney is over, don’t forget to send the results.

        To all League Secretaries.  Think about giving your bowlers the recognition they deserve. Think of all the high games, and series they are rolling?
