Volunteer of the Month
Bill Palumbo, Assn. Mgr.
Buffalo, NYOne opportunity for bowlers to support BVL is through the USBC Honor Score Awards. That is, if a bowler wishes to forgo his or her award for a 300 game recognition, for instance, the cost of that award can be forwarded to BVL as a personal contribution. Since the inception of this program, tens of thousands of dollars have been sent to BVL, proving the opportunity to brighten the days and boost the spirits of recuperating veterans nationwide.
Greater Buffalo USBC Association Manager Bill Palumbo took this idea and brought it one step further, creating a world of good for veterans while at the same time recognizing those honor scores which were never applied for by his bowlers. Bill explains, “I was actually looking for a way for the bowler's honor scores to appear on bowl.com even though they never turned in an application. I felt their scores should be in their records even though they chose not to apply for an award.
“We had a pile of Honor Score Awards which, for one reason or another, our bowlers never decided to act on,” Bill says. “Our association is a supporter of BVL and we believe in what they do for our veterans, so it just seemed to make sense to take care of these aging awards and support BVL.”
It’s a great idea with great results…. Pssst! Pass it on!!! Thanks, Bill, for your creative thinking.
