• More people see postings of events by the sign-in sheet outside. On postings give all info regarding events.
• Large notice inside: Sign up for “_____” on clipboard.
• Excellent selection for 2010 officers. Will chairpersons be invited to Board meetings, after Board mtg., separately?
• Choosing a course of action, best for our members and visitors - together for a common goal.
• Bowl with everyone, regardless of ability (we can’t satisfy everyone, but we’re going to do it). We all have physical and life problems;
we come to relax and enjoy.
• Suggest alternate for tournaments.
• I’m willing to serve as key person (have ordered and have keys).
• Start on time - not too early (Sundays) - not too late.

Minutes can also be included in the SJLBC web site and/or e-mailed/sent to members via a newsletter.
• Stronger favor member/guest events (with food) to introduce the game to friends and family.
• Set up a definitive policy regarding new members: welcome, instruction, handouts (By-Laws, Etiquette, Bowl Terms), etc.
• Define policy for giving keys to members and tracking key distribution.
• Set up By-Laws committee to review, revise and update our Constitution and By-Laws.
• I don’t mind bowling only, but with a meal occasionally is nice.
• Regret that I will not be able to participate until sping 2010 due to back surgery.
• I am a new member an haven’t had the opportunity to bowl much yet.
