Meeting Notes:

1st Vice President Teri Jennings called meeting to order at 7:00. Present at the time of roll call were: 1^st VP Teri Jennings, 3^rd VP Patti McCoy, Nevada VP Bryan Carsrud, Ames VP Cari McPartland, Youth Rep Kelly McPartland, Directors: Jerry Everett, Terri Siguas, Deb Robinson, Monica Mills, Cheryl Devore, Terri Carriere. Excused absence: Pres Keith Hawkins, 2^nd VP Greg Knop, Youth Reps- Mike Mensing and Travis Mason Directors: Brian Harris and Scott Tscherter. Unexcused absence: Story City VP Jake Jacobson, Youth Rep Patti Beck, Director Tim Kadolph. We had 11 board members in attendance enough for a quorum.

Terri Siguas made the motion that the minutes of the previous meeting be approved as written. Patti McCoy seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. It was decided that L. Jennings would continue to email the minutes of the previous meeting when he sent the notification of the next board meeting. This would allow everybody time to read the minutes prior to the meeting and hopefully allow the meeting to move along smoothly.

T. Jennings then read the following letter at the request of President Hawkins.

If I'm not there tomorrow night please read this to the board.  I want to apologize to the rest of the board for the way the last board meeting was conducted. I take full responsibility for this problem. There was way too much interruption and talking among individuals when other people had the floor. I certainly would appreciate if the board members not have alcohol while we are conducting our meetings. These meetings are very important right now because of establishing the new board and venturing into the new era of bowling. I'm asking the full cooperation of the new board to make these meetings business like because that is what we are there for. So what I'm saying is in order to be recognized and having the floor to speak you will call on by the person who is conducting the meeting. I don't care if you have a beverage before the meeting but please try and have it done by the start of the meeting. If you want to make the meeting a social hour you will probably be ask to leave the room. I'm not trying to be a hard butt about things but we as the board need full cooperation out of everybody in this situation. This is a new experience for myself as being a leader of a large group of individuals and I don't want to step on anybody toes. Just asking for the cooperation in making these meetings an enjoyable and fruitful process.

Respectfully: Keith Hawkins, President of AAUSBC

T. Jennings and I discussed what we learned at the USBC workshop that we attended in Milwaukee. We discussed shirts and branding and how all designs had to be approved by USBC before we print them. Talking to others at the meeting, we decided that a front and sleeve logo would be the best idea for our association shirts. From what we were hearing at the meeting, USBC wants something that will be worn other places besides the bowling center to help try and bring others into bowling. We talked about the tax seminar that we attended and decided we had a lot to learn. T. Jennings also mentioned how she had been told to send in a copy of our association bylaws to National Headquarters for approval. We thanked the board for sending us.

Those attending the IWBA workshop on Saturday July 9 at the Masonic Lodge in Des Moines will be Patti McCoy, Teri Jennings, Deb Robinson and Terri Carriere. They have all given their money to L. Jennings so he can send in the registration form.

The announcement was made that the women will be able to participate in the State Jamboree bowling tournament and meeting. The board will need to vote on whether or not we are going to pay for the board members to bowl and attend the banquet.

Patti McCoy questioned our decision on who the board decided could sign association checks. GASB (Government Acct Standards Board) states that family members can not sign checks. C. McPartland made the motion that “in the event of two family members holding check signing offices, the duty shall fall to the next office held by a non-family member. Carriere seconded the motion. MCU.

L. Jennings presented the report from the last AABA meeting in which Arden Schoep was presented a plaque from the AABA for his 19 years of service to the association. It was a very emotional meeting. Arden gave thanks to all the board members for their dedicated service. The board approved transferring the funds from AABA to AAUSBC with no restrictions on use of the money pending the receipt of our new EIN. The AABA voted to disband.

We tabled discussion of the USBC 2006 convention and IWBA State Delegates meeting pending more information.

Meeting was adjourned 7:51 pm.

Respectfully submitted
Lyle Jennings
AAUSBC Association Manager
