Kadry on Bowling: Dues increase on agenda at Modesto USBC meeting

The annual meeting of the Modesto USBC is Sunday at 10 a.m. at McHenry Bowl. On the agenda will be a local dues increase of $2. Currently, membership dues are $18 per year – a $10 national fee, $1 state fee and $7 local fee. At the National USBC Convention in April, a national dues increase was approved as part of a package to cap the total national fee at $15. On the approved calendar, the first increase to bring national dues to $13 is slated for the 2017-18 season. At the California State USBC Convention in June, delegates approved a $1 increase in fees to bring them to $2 as of Aug. 1. If this local proposal passes, dues will be $21 this fall. Also on the agenda will be elections for one vice president, seven directors and three youth directors. Applications for these positions are at the bowling center desks. Although the nomination period has closed, nominations will be accepted from the floor at the meeting. ...
