Most leagues are wrapping up in the coming weeks. It’s never too late to start planning for next season, so be sure to speak out at your end-of-season payout meetings.
Since the Annual Meeting, some changes were announced at the national level. There have been mixed reactions to them and, while I understand the reasons, nothing we do or say is going to change what is happening. We need to focus on how these changes can benefit us.
I’ve been a secretary for over 20 years, and each league has shown a different reaction to the special achievement awards. By vesting the control of these with the local association, we have the opportunity to establish an awards and/or recognition program that better meets what you would like to see.
Please take some time to express your thoughts. We may not be able to please everyone, but if a common thread emerges from your comments, it can help guide us in preparing a program.
Our annual Open Championship Tournament recently concluded. I had the pleasure of working at the team house and saw a new women’s series record posted, smashing the previous record by 51 pins. If you did not participate, I hope you give thought to being part of next year’s event.

The summer league season is upon us. May you strike out often and be spared of any splits.
