Board Minutes:

Meeting called to order at 6:30 p.m. by President Mason. Roll call: Excused were Greg Knop, Tim Kadolph, Randy Moore; absent were Wierson, Cerka, Huntrods, Green and Walt Cottrill. All other board members and past presidents present.

Minutes of the August 23 meeting approved as printed. Treasurer’s oral report approved.

Everett reported as chairman of the certification committee, noting that all lanes at Nevada, Story City and Ames have been certified.

Hawkins, chairman of the 9-pin committee, announced dates and times for the three 9-pin tournaments this fall. Story City will be Oct. 16-17, Ames will be Nov. 13-14 and Nevada will be Dec. 4-5.

Schoep reported that the USBC transition committee will meet for the first time on Oct. 3, with ABC, WIBC and YABA from the Ames area all to attend.

Everett also gave a report on the new AABA website, noting that work continues on the site and that new things are being added regularly. He hopes to scan the Hall of Fame pictures into the site and also hopes to get the final averages on the site. President Mason complimented him on the progress and the looks of the site.

Discussion was held regarding delegates to the ABC and state conventions. Since there is no legislation at the ABC convention, there are no restrictions on how many can go. Motion by Jacobson, second by Hawkins, to allow up to $625 per person, four maximum, for those attending the workshops. Motion carried. Those who can and want to go are to let Schoep know by our November 10 meeting, at which time we will formally pick our representatives. We will also formally pick the state convention delegates at that time.

Schoep asked who were bowling in leagues this year that were different than in the past, and recorded them so that he could make out the assignments for the ambassadors (league reps) for the season. Schoep also noted that ABC is having a transition workshop in Des Moines Dec. 4-5, but he didn’t think it would be necessary for our association to attend, as we hope to have things well under way by that time locally.

Meeting adjourned at 7:08 p.m.
