One of the most critical issues that impede the implementation of productivity is extensive change. However, change is inevitable.

A different perspective has taken place within our association. Our president is now Deloise L. Poindexter, better known as “Dee.” I know you’re probably saying that this name seems familiar. Ms. Poindexter was first vice president for approximately six months at the beginning of this season. Due to unforeseen circumstances, Judy Edwards stepped down, and Dee stepped up.

Dee previously served 12 years on the WDCAWBA board as a director. She has always endured challenges, and our new leadership hopes to gain board confidence along with membership participation in everything—in evaluating existing matters, consideration on human factors, feasibility, limitations, and challenges will be addressed. WDCAWBA is proud of our place and prepared for the future.

A year of challenges – Some of the earlier challenges we faced were military bases closing and leagues having to change locations or just drop out for this bowling season of 2001-2002. This may cause a decrease in membership, but we are still committed and staying focused on the concerns of the membership. We, the board members, are here to provide the services and deliver the representation you want and deserve.

Now, it’s time you do your share.

Suzy Bowler – Do you know who the new “Suzy Bowler” is? Did you see her get crowned?

News flash: Our 2002 Suzy Bowler is Terry L. Sanford-Waldon. A newlywed, she and her husband, Sean Waldon, an avid bowler, reside in Alexandria. Terry has been an administrative assistant for the Navy Budget Office for 14 years. She was among those at the Pentagon on September 11, 2001. Praises go up and blessings come down that she is still with us today.

She has bowled for 12 years and currently bowls in the Saturday Night Mixed and the Pete Gunn leagues at AMF Seminary. Her highest average has been 171. She has even cashed in numerous tournaments. Her husband has helped her to read the lanes faster, make adjustments, and change equipment.
