OLD BUSINESS:

1. Lane dressing readers: Kelly checked on the price, approximately @$2,850 for something that looks identical to what we have. Our current machine will need to be calibrated by Brunswick again. We don’t have to get a new one just now, Jerry suggests holding out until there is new technology.

2. BVL: 33% of our league bowlers participated, over 340 bowlers participated this year. Results are back around Christmas.

3. Membership Meeting: Kevin checked on the availability of the Legion in SC, it is so he reserved the date and times.

Teri will fill out all of the info; we collect the money and highlight the name on the page. This tournament is against other Iowans across the state.

2. Donation from Southtown League: Kelly gave a donation from this disbanded league; check was for $165.50. Preferably, this check will go to the youth program. Cari suggested using the money for advertising, there was some discussion about this. Tim expressed concern that we are losing bowlers. Kelly said that the schools won’t let us in, based on history. He did suggested going through the recreation programs in each town by getting information in through advertising. Kelly will follow up on this. Kevin recommended using social networking; the only problem is who will manage it. We have two centers that have youth bowlers. Cari suggested that our board have a discussion with Perfect Games about youth league, the cost involved and what PG perception of having a youth program stands right now. Kelly suggested that the association would need to take some of the responsibility of increasing the program in the association. Bryan suggested coaches in all the houses is something that should be supported.

Jo made a motion to put money aside for advertising for the various youth events, leagues in our association as needed. Terri C 2^nd. MCU

3. Teri needs to use the money set aside by the association to purchase a new laptop. Bryan will assist if Teri gives him the specs. Budget is $1,000 or less.
