HELEN GRACE
INDUCTED 1985

This year we were fortunate to have five persons nominated for this award, and as we said before the selection was a difficult one to make but we think the person to receive this award tonight really deserves the receiving of it.

This bowler has been around for many years, in fact she was here when they decided to form this Hamilton Association. She was sgt.-at-arms 1940-1942 then she became association secretary in 1942 and held that office until 1957. She has served as our delegate to both State and National conventions for many years. She has also served as an officer on the Ohio Women's Bowling Association and four years ago was elected Member Emeritus of the OWBA. For the past nine or ten years she has served the association as Lane Representive for Fairfield Lanes.Even though she no longer holds an office with the GHWBA she is a life member, and as such attends all meetings of the board and serves as ex-officio member of many committees. She is a joy to be around and we are really glad that when her husband retired and they moved to Florida they decided that they really wanted to live in the Hamilton-Fairfield area. They came here and she picked up her bowling activities where she left off, helping all those she came into contact with to have fun while enjoying the game. Above all she is truly a 'Good Sport" in all that the title implies. I'm sure she knows who we are speaking of by now, so I'm asking Etta to please escort this Member Of The Year forward so I can present Helen Grace to all of you and introduce her as our honor guest for this evening.
