Are Secretary and Treasures Fees in your league too high?
« on: June 04, 2009, 01:15:45 AM »
In the DC Metro Area, to keep the leagues going, each year we increase the price each bowler pays every week due to lineage increase by the house.  That increase could be a dollar or more in some cases. But why not REDUCE the amount that bowlers pay the secretary and treasure each week.  Lets do the math in a typical league

40 teams x 4 bowlers = 160 bowlers
160 bowlers x 0.30 secretary fee = 48.00/week
48.00/week x 32 weeks = 1536.00

Keep in mind that 30 cents per bowler is considered LOW and we still have to pay the treasurer.   There is nothing in the USBC rules that say you have to pay per bowler per week.  You have the latitude to pay a fixed amount thereby saving the league a good bit of money.  What do you think?

Here the jobs are almost always combined.  The fee varies from .75-1.00.

In our league on Thursday, the secretary and president are not charged lineage by the center. This means that out of our $25 a week, 2 people pay that amount minus lineage.

This is at no cost to any of the league members as the center just charges us for 2 less people per night.

Our center treats us great as anyone regular dues paying member of the leagu gets free lineage when there are open lanes available.

Our league pays the Secretary .75 per bowler per week.

And she is worth every penny she gets for the excellent job she's done over the years.

I get $.50 per week per bowler and that is low in this area.  I do the secretary and the treasurer duties (Though the president helps out a good bit too)  If anyone wants to do it cheaper, then they are welcomed to take it from me.

The ones that complain the most are often the ones that will not step up and take the job.
