Director of the Year Award

We are not in the position to pass out this award as the existing board normally awards it and they did not have a quorum at their last meeting to identify a recipient.

ABC Cards

ABC will now send cards directly to the bowlers. The cards will be made of plastic, so there is no need to use the laminating machine previously purchased to do this. However, the machine will be kept and used at tournaments.

Meeting adjourned by Bill Munn, seconded by Rheal Proulx
