Website-Committee Report. Traci reports download of prior information should have been done. Had to get Network Solutions to transfer ownership to me and get passwords changed. Once that is done, Verdigre will switch us live. Verdigre suggested to switch to a g-mail account to receive e-mails, which can be accessed anywhere. Outlook could be transferred to retain old information for a fee. Sylvia Livingston questioned why Outlook issue, should be able to transfer information by ourselves. Harry agreed.

By Laws – By law change proposed to raise local dues $1.00, from previous $7.00 to $8.00 to help defray future costs for awards, website and tournaments. Motion made, seconded and approved.
John Govans Kops n Kids. For the past 15 years annual event John has been involved in to promote youth to bowling to help reduce crime rate if we continue to keep kids involved in lifetime sports. As recognition for the generous support from Jerrell Lowery State Farm Insurance and Tallahassee Police Department the Association is awarding a plaque to each sponsor. The awardees could not be present, so John will make sure he delivers the plaques to them.
Budget – Traci presented 2008-2009 based on prior budget. Discussion of amounts on fees income will need to be adjusted for $1.00 increase. John Govans questioned no budget for ads. There is money in public relations. Discussion regarding ads may not be worth proceeding with if centers are supporting as much as we would like. Association manager’s fees figure needs to be based on current membership, which would be $1,318.00. Discussion to raise association manager’s fee from $2.00 per member, decided to keep at $2.00 for another year. Actual expenses could be reviewed to bring budget more in line and should be handled in a budget committee meeting.
Awards – Harry Frisbee submitted proposal to award local awards for once in a lifetime 298, 299 and 800 Series. The awards will be plaques. Motion made, 2nd and approved.
