COMMITTEE REPORTS:

1. Audit

   Arden Schoep presented the report for the committee (in packet). Minor error that was easily corrected (something in 08’ that was found). There were a slight concern about the amount of money in the accounts. This will be brought up in new business.

2. 9-Pin

   Terri Carriere- Jennings reported next 9-pin is next weekend at Sports Bowl, 11-4 on Saturday; 11-2 on Sunday. Hand fliers out at league.

UNFINISHED BUSINESS:

1. Bowl for the Cure Mail in Tournament- a lot of entries already in; mailed in by 19^th. They have a form now that we type in info and it’s done. Teri will have info ready for the people at the 9-pin tourney to work on. Teri asked that the board talk with the bowlers about entering.

2. Youth Bowling-Patti and Keith are receptive to the help of the Board; Ray is comfortable not being sanctioned. Kelly hasn’t talked with Bryan yet. We will approach the recreation departments to see what we can do to increase youth bowlers. Should have a committee meeting. Loneman suggested advertising on radio, we will look at the cost. Rec departments could be an inexpensive way to advertise. Schoep suggested Boys and Girls Club. McCoy said that she gets a Roland Story School bulletin; we could look at this. Nevada sends notices out in the water bills, we can see if we can be included in this. Schools don’t won’t generally help out when it is not a school function. Kinneer said that you generally need to go through school PTO’s. Possible send a flier out to all of the association members via mass email. Adult coaching seems to be the key because kids have someone to help them. Our past efforts have resulted in few coaches. Coaches do have to go through the registered volunteer program. Carsrud recommended a split season for youth. The one thing it encouraged to TCB was they could commit to one season but not another; Keith said this doesn’t seem to be an issue in Nevada. Look at Bowler First program or bring a friend and bowl for free. Kinneer said that they have bowling in PE, would like to give the teachers something to give the kids for completion that would relate to going out to the centers. Schoep suggested getting information to the birthday party attendees. Kinneer asked that the best help we could give is getting through the right channels at the schools. Ray would like to get a high school program going.

Our angle is the future of our sport, not the profit of the centers.

New Business

1. Audit recommendations: Schoep discussed the amount of money we have in the bank. We are in jeopardy of losing our tax exempt status unless we earmark or do something with the money. We aren’t earning interest on the money we do have. Couple of suggestions: we could pay the High School team house fee of $250. Could donate at least $1,000 to the prize fund of the association tourney? 50/50 raffle money is supposed to be donated to a specific cause, ¾ of it must be specified to a cause.

   1. Schoep made a motion, Prescott 2^nd to pay the fee for high school team if under $1,000. MCU

   2. McPartland made a motion, Loneman 2^nd to put $1,000 toward the 2011 AAUSBC Association Tournament prize fund pro-rated per division. MCU

2. Set date and location for next meeting: February 12^th in Story City @ 10:00am.
