Dear Youth Bowlers, Parents, and Friends,

Let me be the first to welcome you to the 4th Staten Island USBCAssociation Youth Champions Dinner. Tonight we will honor 60 youth

bowlers for their achievements on and off the lanes.

Under the direction of the Staten Island USBC Association,

the Youth Committee is responsible for administering youth championship

tournaments, the scholarship program, youth fundraising, an In-School

Bowling program, the Registered Volunteer Program through our Safety

First Initiative, and this youth champions dinner. The Youth Committee iscommitted to providing excellent programs and activities for our youth

bowlers in the seasons to come.

This year we will award over $4,500 in scholarships at this awards

dinner. In addition, over $20,000 in scholarships has been awarded to our

bowlers this past season through local tournaments and leagues. Most

importantly, over the course of the season well over $100,000 in scholarshipsare available through numerous programs offered by our local, state, and

national affiliates.

I would like to extend my Congratulations to all the youth bowlers here this

evening and as we enter our fifth operations season a special thank all the

volunteer members of the Staten Island USBC Association youth program for

their continued hard work and dedication to the youth bowlers

of Staten Island

Yours in Bowling,

The Man in the Arena

It is not the critic who counts, not the

man who points out how the strong manstumbled, or where the doer of deeds could

have done better. The credit belongs to the

man who is actually in the arena; whose

face is marred by the dust and sweat andblood; who strives valiantly; who errs and

comes up short again and again; who knows

the great enthusiams, the great devotions

and spends himself in a worthy cause; who

at the best, knows in the end the triumph

of high achievement, and who at worst, if

he fails, at least fails while daring greatly;

so that his place shall never be with those

cold and timid souls who know neither

victory or defeat.- Theodore Roosevelt
