MCBA & MCWBA merger meeting minutes. MCBA association president Harvey Poynter started the meeting explaining why we should do the merger of the local associations today instead of waiting and stretching the process over several meetings. Harvey asked the members present for a vote to take care of the merger process at this meeting. Margaret Tilsley said she had concerns if we don't follow the merger checklist. Steve Woltering suggested getting started today and get it done through meetings over the summer. Harvey said we would go by the merger checklist if we went through the merger process today. Harvey said we have a transition committee in place and are ready to start the merger process. Margaret said the MCWBA doesn't have any committees in place and no officers are present at this meeting. Jenny Norman suggested going through the merger process today and let the absent board members agree or disagree with the decisions made today. If a board member doesn't agree we can meet again on the merger. Margaret suggested we do a proposed by-laws for the merged association and give all the board members a chance to go over the new by-laws. Harvey asked of a vote to continue with the merger process. Vote passed. Margaret asked if we would keep the 500/600 tournament and have separate women and men's city tournaments. Harvey said we should keep the tournaments and continue with the Lemetta Dause Tournament along with the Thanksgiving and Christmas tournaments unless the new board wanted to make changes. Also said to let new merged association make decisions on how the merged bank account totaling $6,277 will be used.

Beverly Shearer suggested we should have a memorial board and the members agreed. Harvey said we need to elect officers for the new board. He asked for nominations for president. Harvey Poynter was nominated. No else was nominated so Margaret asked that nominations be closed and Harvey was elected president. Harvey asked for nominations for vice president. Fred Tilsley proposed that a woman be elected vice president since a man was elected president so both associations are represented. Board agreed and voted yes on Fred's proposal. Margaret Tilsley and Narita Rose were nominated. Margaret won the paper ballot vote. Lewis Jones Jr was the only nomination for Association Manager and was voted in.

Beverly made a motion for the M.C.B.A. to donate $500 to Hospice Care Plus. Motion passed. Harvey told the members about the Masons holding a tournament to raise money to buy bikes for children. He said it would be a good cause for us to donate money to. Beverly made a motion to donate $250. The motion passed. Beverly asked about getting the entries for the state tournament early so the lane assignments can be put in the computer. Harvey said there is an entry deadline and we would have the entries before the tournament started. David said we will be using the new league software for the tournament so we can run brackets from the software. Rick Stamper reported that the bracket software worked when it was tried using a dummy league. Beverly said she would check with Quality Inn about being the host hotel and about getting a tournament rate. Lewis Jones Jr said when we held the 2004 state tournament 3 hotels offered special rates for tournament bowlers. Beverly said she would check about getting special rates from other hotels.

After a short discussion on whether to continue the awards program the board voted to not give out bowling achievement awards. Lewis said he had some awards left over and could give a bowler an award if the bowler requested it. Lewis suggested cutting back the USBC membership fees to $16 since the fee was raised to $20 to cover the awards. Harvey told the board the state fees would be increased to $2 starting next season. He suggested leaving the fees at $20. The extra income can be used for donations to help causes like Hospice Care Plus. After a short discussion Peanut Johnson made a motion to leave the fees at $20.
