    President's Message They say that this is the new normal and I can’t say that I like it but it seems like things have started to improve over the way that they were. People are able to get out and about a little easier and we are now starting to plan for upcoming golf tournaments! The course is in the best condition that it has ever been and kudos go out to our maintenance staff and Superintendent. The weekends are very busy and the new tee time format seems to be working out just fine, I have heard nothing but compliments from all of our members. I just want to remind everyone that we still have to follow the social distancing rules both on and off the course. Even though we are now in Phase 2 and will soon be in Phase 3, we can’t let our guard down or we could suffer setbacks in the spread of the virus. As always, if you want to reach me to discuss anything, please send me an email at roger.laime@aecom or call me on my cell phone at 518-772-7754. Please be considerate of others, be safe and think warm weather.

While this month marks the beginning of our fiscal year, the Annual Meeting allows the opportunity to fondly reminisce over the year that was and look forward with renewed enthusiasm to the upcoming year. So as The Hallmark Channel begins to air Christmas movies this week (WAY TOO EARLY) it got me to thinking that the Annual Meeting is essentially our Chapter’s New Year’s Eve. The Chapter kicked off a great year of events in January with the first Annual Foundation Expo. This day long event included multi- leveled education, fantastic networking, and meaningful connections with our very important trade partners.

    The 74th BBIA Convention GREENBRIER RESORT Sulphur Springs, West Virginia AprIl 10 – 12, 2016 WHERE SWANK AND BOWLING UNITE Jeff Mraz BBIA President Dear BBIA Members, I would like to start by thanking you all for giving me the opportunity to serve as President of the Billiard and Bowling Institute of America. It is such an honor to hold this position. I’m really looking forward to the 2016 BBIA Convention site that Corey Dykstra has selected for us — the historic Greenbrier in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia, which dates back to 1778. We had our board meeting there in October, and it is truly an unbelievable place — great restaurants, a casino, and the historic “Bunker,” once a top-secret U.S. government relocation facility during the Cold War. The resort also plays host to one of the most exciting PGA tournaments of the year, and we look forward to playing on one of the five championship golf courses there. Over the past six years, it has been a pleasure to serve on the board and work with so many talented people. The Industry Catalog is one thing that we should be particularly proud of, and I’m proud to have played a small part in bringing such a great product to the marketplace. The current board has been very helpful in continually finding ways to make improvements. I’d like to personally thank our board members, as well as the best Executive Director, Bill Supper, who does more behind the scenes that contributes to our success than you’ll ever know.
