USBC Message Regarding Delayed Sanction Cards

From Bowl.com on 12/15/2011:

Some USBC members are experiencing a delay in receiving their 2011-2012 membership cards. This season USBC is including a customized bag tag with membership cards as an enhanced benefit. Unfortunately, the design change has caused unexpected fulfillment delays outside of USBC’s control.

“USBC’s goal in adding the bag tag to the membership card mailing is to provide an added thank you for our bowlers,” USBC Managing Director of Marketing and Membership Kevin Terry said. “This change has caused some production delays but we are working diligently with our vendor and are getting caught up. We sincerely hope our members will like the addition of the bag tags and look forward to feedback from our members on the new cards.”

Members may continue to experience delays in receiving cards by mail through mid-January.

The card delay does not affect member eligibility for events, awards or benefits. Members can always print out a temporary card by visiting BOWL.com and using the “Find a Member” function. Anyone needing additional information can contact USBC at bowlinfo@bowl.com or 800-514- BOWL (2695).

New Calendar Pages

A new format for the calendars of bowling events has been implemented on the GRAUSBC Website and is also available on the GRAUSBC Facebook page. On the website it is under the “Calendars” page; on Facebook it is accessible via the “Calendar” tab

The default display is for the current month and is a compilation of 5 separate calendars: GRAUSBC events, League Meetings, Other Bowling Events, USBC and VASTATEUSBC events. The calendar can be viewed in month, week or agenda formats, as well as viewing individual calendars or a combination of calendars. To change the format, click on the “Month”, “Week” or “Agenda” tab. To change calendars, there is a drop-down menu available via the small arrow next to the “Agenda” tab that allows a choice of calendars. In the month view, the events are color-coded by calendar to help distinguish between them.

This calendar is intended to promote ALL bowling events and the sport of bowling in general. If you have a bowling event of ANY sort (sanctioned, non-sanctioned, tournament, fund-raiser, etc), please send the information to info@grausbc.org.
