News from Buckeye Bowling Writers
President’s Message: To say the 2019-2020 season was unprecedented would be an understate- ment. The COVID pandemic shattered bowling competition and put all of our lives on hold for a considerable amount of time. In my case, it made me more aware of how important bowling and my bowling family are to my own wellbeing.
The 2020-21 season is beginning with some restriction still in place, but I would like to be optimistic and say by January and our Ohio State USBC and BBW Convention time we will be able to proceed with some manner of normalcy. Your BBW board of directors is already planning ways we can present the Exchange Mart and Welcome Party on Friday evening and our Annual Meeting on Saturday morning. Our theme for the Exchange Mart will be “Be a Communication Super Hero”. Our Super Heroes have always come in to save the day and contributed greatly to the optimism of the public. We need to bring that positivity and optimism into play as we move forward and return to our new normal.
All our forms will be included in an Ohio State USBC mailing and are available on our website: www.buckeyebowlingwriters.com as well as on the Ohio State USBC website under the Local Association Tab. It’s not too early to start preparing an application form for that person in your local association who exemplifies: Promotion of your Local Events (Mary Jannetto Award), Excellence in Bowling Involvement (Ruth Heath-Trott Award), and for male only Excellence in Bowling Involvement (Garrett Swartz Award). We know you all promote your local events in many ways, and some of you have found very unique approaches – these are the things that you should be sharing with other associations by entering your unique ideas in the Writing and Photography Contests. I see so many GREAT pictures on Facebook – this year take the time to submit one of them for our Photography Contest. Deadline for all of our Awards and Contests is November 1 . Continue to PROMOTE and PUBLIIZE your local association. We appreciate all you do to support BOWLING IN OHIO! – Ruth
