Are you a league officer or have been one?

Have you ever been a bowling league officer? What about it is so special? Is it a lot of work or fun? I know some people hide when asked to be an officer, so what's your take on being a bowling officer?

Being an Office of a league is not hard work BUT you are held responisable if anything happends with in a League....such as Law suits, stolen money. Theses are things that are very far and few between, I always look foward to be Vice pres cause you dont have anything to do unless the Pres and Sec are not there .....LOL

So if you are the secretary, what can you expect? Weekly due collecting and such?

Yeah the sec's job is there to collect and make sure funds are taking care of nightly

That seems like it might be a pain at times. I wonder if some people avoid trying to do it at all?

LOL....well anytime you have to track down adults and get them to pay can be a pain for sure

Actualy it's the Treasurers job to take care of the money. But most of the time Secretary and Treasurer positions are combined so the same person does both jobs. I was Secretary/Treasurer for about 25 years, gave it up this year, 25 years was enough. I will say our league had very few problems made my job easier.

I was tagged last night to be Sargent-at-arms for my Tuesday League. Now that is a cush position, if someone misbehaves badly just call the law.

The way I see it the pecking order:
Secretary-handles money and gives awards out, and handles score sheets (very POWERFUL)
President-Conducts kickoff meeting and ending meeting to disperse money (Talking Head just like a Politician)
Vice Pres.- Hands President Money folder at ending Meeting (Vanna White)
S.A.A- Sit on Rump at meetings and shooshes mere mortals so Pres. can talk (Smartest, no power-no responsibility)
