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.
