BOJГ, BAKER EARN ANOTHER YEAR ATOP USBC BOARD
Board also approves appointment of Tom Bluth as Director-At-Large

The United States Bowling Congress Board of Directors
re-elected Jeff BojГ as president and Darlene Baker as vice president
Saturday following the USBC Annual Meeting in Kansas City.

BojГ, whose family owns three bowling centers in the Tampa, Fla., area
and one in St. Louis, will lead the Board for the second consecutive
year after serving as a proprietor director since 2004. Baker, Mahomet,
Ill., who was re-elected to the Board by USBC Annual Meeting delegates,
also will serve her second year as vice president after being a Board
member since 2004.

The Board also approved BojГ's appointment of Tom Bluth as
Director-At-Large. The Davie, Fla., resident and son of USBC Hall of
Famer Ray Bluth will complete the unexpired term of Pete Tredwell plus
serve the 2008-09 season beginning Aug. 1. Tredwell resigned from the
Board last month when he joined the USBC staff.

Bluth is executive vice president, chief financial officer and general
counsel for Ellis Diversified, Inc., in Fort Lauderdale. A member of the
American Bar Association and the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants, he has spent most of the past two decades in similar
positions for several companies. He previously served as a member of the
board of directors of ABCO, a for-profit subsidiary of the American
Bowling Congress. He is married with four children.

In other Board action taken in Kansas City, USBC bylaws will be
reviewed by counsel before being sent to the USBC Legal & Legislative
Committee. And an executive committee will be established beginning Aug.
1. It will consist of five board members serving one-year terms with a
bylaw change to this effect being put before the delegates at the 2009
Annual Meeting in Reno, Nev.
