(May 16) The meeting for the WIIL USBC BA was held on the 14th. Due to not having the required number of Board of Directors to meet a quorum we were unable to fill the 4 directors positions nor the president's spot. Bill Moake expressed that he would not be the president for the upcoming season but would accept a nomination to the Board of Directors. Mike Patrick also would accept nomination for another three years. Without the quorum, only 5 directors and the association manager were present, no business decisions were made. Three directors notified us that they would not be attending for personal reasons. No word from the rest of the members. The fall meeting will include the election but their names, including the president, will not be listed in the new final average book.

Did you know that if you have misplaced your membership card and need proof of membership for tournaments that you can go to bowl.com and get a paper copy of one? Just go to the site and in the far upper left column is a "Find a Member" area. Click on this and you can search by your number, if you remembered it, or by typing in your first and last name. If you have a common name, it may take awhile to downloard and then you will look for our association names: WIIL USBC BA or Beloit USBC WBA to match up with the corrrect name. You will also be able to review your averages for each completed leagues from the past that you bowled 21 games or more in. It is easy to do and faster than asking your secretary to contact the Association and then waiting for two weeks before you get it. The association managers can print out a form verifying that you have paid but this method is faster and is still acceptable at tournaments.
