ASSOCIATION MEETING HIGHLIGHTS
Our annual association meeting was held on Sunday, February 21 at Westside Lanes. Association week payouts were handed out to those in attendance, with all remaining payouts going to the league in which league dues were paid. If you have not received your payouts by March 1, please notify your league secretary so we can track down your check. ALL TEAM PAYOUTS go to the team captain for distribution to team members.

Elections were held for President, 2nd Vice President, and five directors. Mike Evjen and Shelly Ellis were reelected to their current positions of President and 2nd Vice President, respectively, and Chuck Barker, Teri Hodges, Dan Fix, Robyn Barker, and Chuck Furrer were elected as directors for a two-year term. Special thanks go out to Linda Hightower and Dave Evans for their service as directors since the inception of Missoula USBC.

We had a real nice discussion on the future of the Association Week tournaments. One item in agreement among everyone is that the Mixed City return to its own weekend. Financial statements for each tournament were available, and it looks like the senior women city tournament will be dropped due to minimal participation. The women city tournament showed a 300% increase, while the city and senior city remained nearly the same. The idea of allowing multiple team participation with the restriction of cashing only once, as well as multiple doubles participation with the same restriction, was presented, along with other ideas to increase participation. It was agreed by those in attendance that another association meeting be held in September to lay the groundwork for next season's association week tournaments.

A change to the budget was approved to include $1500 for the Junior City $75 gift certificates. This eliminates the need for board approval each year, and will be partially funded through sales of 50/50 tickets during association week tournaments.

Your board of directors would like to extend its thanks to all of you that participated in this year's association week tournaments. As expected, the trial year of this new format revealed MANY rough edges that will be smoothed-out for next season's association week events. Incorporating new ideas presented during the upcoming September association meeting will TRULY make next year an association sponsored event.
