HALL OF FAME BANQUET CANCELLED!  It is with much regret the HOF Committee with GOABA Board approval has decided it is too great a health risk to sponsor an event where 200+ people would be in attendance.  The inductees will be given the opportunity to receive their award at a date and time they select.  The inductees will also be honored at next year's banquet along with those selected for induction next season. 

          THIS IS HOW WE ROLL: Our Bowling Family is made up of over 6000 men, women and children enjoying the sport of bowling in certified leagues and tournaments in the Omaha area. This Association functions for the Bowling Family.

Please consider volunteering your time and talent by (a) sharing your ideas to promote and better serve the bowlers, (b) volunteering to serve on one of the committees.  This is a great way to get involved without having to conform to the standard of duties and responsibilities as Board members. ROLL WITH US!

Hall of Fame: Selection Committee-Review current guidelines; develop method to obtain nominations; schedule selection meeting; inform selectes.

Hall of Fame: Banquet Committee-Plan and carry out every aspect of the banquet to honor inductees; format, hall, food entertainment; follow up with report and financial accountability.

EXCITING BOARD DECISION to extend the valid date for Bowling Buck$ to  July 31, 2021. We realize it’s been impossible for bowlers to reap the full benefit of the Buck$ in the last few weeks.

We hope everything gets back to normal very soon. Stay well!
