Nome Bowlers Inc.
Try to Slave Off
Foreclosure
Nome Bowlers Inc., owned and
operated by the people of Nome,
held their annual meeting last Fri
day evening.
The balance sheet for 1961 show
ed a net loss of $21,420.95 as of
last Dec. 31st. The first quarter of
1962 showed an even greater loss
with the Brunswick Corp., threat
ening immediate legal action. The
Small Business Administration
loan, having been kept current to
the time of the stockholders meet
ing is now one payment in arrears.
Local accounts payable, approxi
mately $7,000, are all past due.
The stockholders present, plus
their proxies, elected a new board
of directors, as follows:
President, Tom Martin; vice
president Don Lyle, secretary
Mrs. Pete Reader, treasurer Mrs.
Bill Caldwell, and members Law
rence Nevue, Bob Renshaw and
Keith Hedreen.
Retiring board members were
Charles Frazier, Ash Craft and
Ben Young. Some of the members
having already resigned.
A four-hour emergency meeting
was held Sunday afternoon by the
new board to discuss the financial
structure of the corporation. It
was agreed that the present rev
enue from the alleys is far below
the amount necessary to meet the
monthly obligation. Approximately
$10,000 is needed immediately to
remove the present liabilities and
foreclosure pressures.
President Tom Martin said:
“This amount will do little toward
making any payments on the local
accounts, nor is it a guarantee
that another 60 days would not
find us operating under the same
conditions as now. To alleviate this
indebtedness over a long period
and to keep the alleys operating is
the board’s main function. The
closing of this source of entertain
ment would be a serious blow to
■ Nome.” .-- - ■
^ UUUiTO vi VCVJJ1C UdVC uuci -
ed to purchase additional stock or
to make outright donations to the
corporation in the hope that the
alleys can be retained, Martin dis
closed. He said the board will be
happy to accept any money on
the condition that they can foresee
a possibility of the lien holders
agreeing to lower monthly pay
ments. Martin said the prime lien
holders are being contacted and
will be asked for additional time,
at least a year, to enable the new
board to achieve a better finan
cial position.
Another board meeting is sched
uled for Thursday evening and
any ideas, advice or information
from the general stock holders will
be welcomed, Martin indicated.
Father Lawrence Nevue has
been appointed as bowling alley
manager with Don Lyle as assist
ant manager.
