Boar<! of Nome
Bowlers Hold
Bmenjenev Meet
The Board of Nome Bowlers met
in an emergency meeting last Wed
nesday night. Main topic of discus
sion was the demand of the SBA to
meet $2,100 in back payments by
Friday or face foreclosure. The
board was faced with the problem
that they had little money in the
treasury, even though they had
managed to operate during the
summer months without going
further into debt. The alleys have
been kept open through volunteer
workers, most of whom fee! that
they have done more than their
share toward keeping the alleys
open, but it seems that the hr lance
of the stock holders are no* inter
ested enough to come forward and
offer their free time.
Brunswick Cor;)., who own *!.
lanes and pinsetters, have no* re
ceived a payment of any kind for
nearly a year. They are going ; ' mg
with the board in hopes of receiv
ing some payments during the win
ter months when the revenue is
at its highest peak.
SBA was in arrears for the sum
mer months and even though they
reduced their payments from $800
to $400 per month in the summer
and $500 in the winter the board
has been unable to meet this obli
gation. It was decided that Borgnv
Reader, treasurer, and Tom Mar
tin, board chairman, should meet
with Don Hoover, who represents
SBA and discuss the foreclosure.
This meeting was held at the
M & M Bank on Thursday and
Mr. Hoover was informed that the
lanes could not meet the demand
payment of $2,100. Present at the
meeting were a number of the
original stockholders who decided
among themselves to raise the
amount needed. This money was
paid to the bank on Friday and
so the Nome bowling alley re
mains open once again.
Unless the people and the stock
holders of Nome get behind their
local alleys it will be impossible
to continue operation for more
than a few months, stated the
board president.
These alleys which are one of
the few means of recreation will
be closed because of the lack of
revenue. The revenue can only
come from the people themselves,
stated president Tom Martin. The
winter leagues are far short of
bowlers which means less revenue
when it is most needed to carry
through the winter. The board
cannot raise this money without
help and unless it is forecoming
the alleys will be closed and re
moved from Nome, it has been
advised.
“If you can bowl, offer some of
your spare time to help clean the
building and lanes, operate the
lanes afternoons or evenings, the
board can find something for you
to do and will welcome new faces
on the volunteer staff. What we
need is more teams, women, men
and mixed teams to enter the win
ter leagues. Your suggestions are .
appreciated. Call the board any
time,” stated a board member.
