Joe Silver spoke to the members about our association working with the YMCA to help underprivileged kids bowl this summer in a kids league at Galaxy Bowling Center. The board asked Joe to get a count of the number of kids and how much it would cost per kid to bowl. Joe told the board that the cost would be $7.50 per child per week. He thought they would be around (50) fifty kids. Joe said he would have more information at the next meeting including number of kids. The members next discussed buying shirts for the board members. Kim Breeding said she would bring some samples of shirts to our next meeting. Mike Moody told the members the association should provide patches for award scores to the bowlers in our association because the USBC no longer gives patches for some award scores. The board asked Mike to bring samples of patches we could give out to the bowlers. Judy Poynter suggested other type of awards and said she would bring some samples to the next meeting. Lewis Jones Jr. told the board he thought our association should buy some new equipment for the lane inspections and would bring a list of equipment he thought we would need.
