ASSOCIATION MANAGER:
Assn.
Manager Jennings
remarks included an apology to the board for not performing his
duties up to the standards the board is used to. He did announce he
was caught up on all paperwork. He also announced that we have 1295
members up slightly from last year at this time. He also stated he
would like to draw up some survey fliers to be put out during the
tournament to see what the bowlers want.
President
Hawkins said
that we have a strong board. Any board that can look for mistakes
then figure out how to learn from them and improve upon them is
stronger than a board that ridicules the people making them. Hawkins
also announced he was going to have hip replacement surgery on April
14th. We wish him the best.
Respectfully
submitted
Lyle Jennings, Association
