Becoming Involved
Center Reps
One of the ways for us to better serve the membership
of this association is to involve non-board members. Our
committees volunteers. Each committee has a specific function and duty and
YOUR input could play an important role in shaping the future of this
organization.
Additionally, each center has a director
assigned to represent the association. We certainly cannot be at each
center 24/7. The National office has provided guidelines for
establishing a CENTER REPRESENTATIVE PROGRAM. Feel free to download that
information at
www.bowl.com. We are looking for volunteers who are interested in
becoming more involved at their own center such as presenting awards and
delivering association correspondence and material between the
association office and center. Ideal persons would be league
secretaries, league officers, people who bowl multiple leagues or those
that just want to be more active and involved. Please call the office
at (818) 810-6263 if you are interested or need more information.
Lane Inspectors
One of the most important tasks for any local USBC
Association is the annual lane inspection/certifications. We are
currently looking to add new members to our inspection crew. Do you
have an engineering, mechanical or technical background? Have you always
wondered how the lanes are maintained from the foul line to the pits?
Then YOU might be just the person we’re looking for in a Certified Lane
Inspector. With 16 centers to certify with the NLAC, it is a tremendous
task to schedule and inspect all of the centers from April 1–July
31 each year. Over the past few years, we’ve relied on a small, but
dedicated crew. If you are interested or would like more information,
please call the office at (818) 810-6263.
BVL Drive
 November is BVL Month. If you are looking to become
involved in a worthy cause, helping with this effort will give you that
satisfaction of helping past and present troops through our great sport
of bowling. Association directors and league secretaries have been
involved in collecting donations during league sessions for many, many
years. This year we expanded this drive by giving open play bowlers an
opportunity to donate at the front desk. All donations are tax
deductible. Please contact the association office to see how you can
become involved. We appreciate any support.
