All Welcome to Director’s Meeting Sunday and President’s Message

Just so you know, we are still “Volunteers” to help with various programs, work with directors, secretaries, the association manager, the president, youth coaches, and others I am sure that I have failed to remember.  If you have some time, we have something for you to do during that time!

I must take this opportunity to congratulate the various committees.  As you know, not all of the committees are active year-round, however those who have been trying to keep Terry and I occupied, have done that.  They have also reported some of the complaints they received while speaking with League Presidents and League Secretaries.  Those complaints have been a little upsetting since we have been trying to be supportive.  However, I am sure that we have made mistakes.  One of the things I have gained from the USBC Conventions is to request solutions for the complaint from the people that dislike something.  Like you, we all have other projects and we want you to know that our (The Board of Directors for NSUSBC) priority is family and you (our Bowling Family).  At this point, Terry and I want to include you in our Director’s Monthly Meetings held at the Napa Bowl (Meeting Room #1) on the 4th Sunday of the month at Noon.  Remember if you do have a complaint, please have a solution for the complaint.

I understand that this is irregular, but Terry and I would like to have you observe and help us solve some of these issues.

Thank you,

D. Sharon Stratton

Napa bowling strong in Reno

While bowling at the Reno Mixed Open the Association was well represented with a number of teams. Its currently on going but at a moment of levity Dan Roberts and Bev Creech attempt to “level the playing field.”

We are sorry to report

Bev wanted to pass on this message:

Jeff Chin phoned me tonight to let me know that Al White, (old member of Norcal) passed away last Tuesday and his memorial will be at Dublin Bowl on Sunday,Sept. 25, 2011 @ 4:00pm.

Interested in bowling this 2011-2012 Season?

With the USBC cards staying the same price, Youth getting their cards for free, and space available in leagues every night, this is a great time to join a league! We just started a couple weeks ago and leagues every night have openings for bowlers.  Just give the Napa Bowling Center a call if you have questions or go on down.

The Napa~Sonoma USBC Awards Two Scholarships

Tonight Bev Creech and Patrick Havens had the privilege of representing the Association in awarding two $1,000 Scholarships from our local Napa~Sonoma Association’s scholarship fund to two well deserving young women.

From Napa High we had Sara Curtis whose busy and active application also noted bowling as a child. An active Napa High Senior, our award was one a few she had gotten but one she showed extreme joy and was surprised at getting.

The second award recipient Kyndra Shaw was also one of the more active in the Association. A Student Representative for two years, Kyndra also represented our association at the California State Meeting. She currently is graduating from Duncan High School in Duncan, Oklahoma.

Spring Meeting is here!
