BPAA Net News...FLASH!!! (March 16, 2007) Sponsored by Pepsi-Cola,
official soft drink of bowling
>>
The BPAA recognizes that risk and legal management are an important
part of our member's overall safely program and business. To that
effect, BPAA will be sending all members FREE safety signs
this week. We will automatically send these signs to all of our
members so there is no need to place an order. However, if you have
your own signs or simply do not want these FREE signs, please be
kind enough to let us know so we do not waste monies in sending
them.
>> The BPAA has signed a Smart Buy deal with Orange Tree
Employment Screening. The partnership offers BPAA members a
comprehensive background screen on employees or potential hires.
This program does not replace the USBC Registered Volunteer Program
as that is a different program all together. However, the new
partnership, which is complimentary to USBC’s RVP does offer a great
discount to BPAA members on those background screens that are not
related to the USBC program.
>> Rolf Anderson, Winner of the Bev Com promotional Sweepstakes,
will bowl to win $25,000 on March 18th at the PBA Pepsi
Championship at Jim Doty's center Woodland Bowl in Indianapolis,

Tountas's center Golden Pin Lanes in Tucson, AZ. The PBA-Pepsi
Championship will be aired on ESPN 12:30 pm EST/11:30am Central.

>> Is Bowling a Sport? Of course. Consider, within the course
of a 42-game tournament, players will lift more than five tons,
carrying it for a total of two miles while projecting their ball
more than 700 times at an average speed of 17 miles per hour at a
target 60 feet away.
This is an exclusive benefit for BPAA member bowling centers. Please
