CTF CONNECTION                                                        November 2009

Welcome to Canadian Tenpin Federation
 
Greetings!

Welcome to this month's edition of the CTF Connection.  We hope you enjoy reading about all things Canadian in tenpin bowling.  Feel free to forward this to friends and family to keep them in the loop.  Better yet, have them sign up for their own copy.  We never sell your email address and only use it to inform you of CTF bowling news.
 
This edition and all other editions of the CTF Connection will be sent to everyone on our existing mailing list, as well as those bowlers whose email addresses are in our national membership database.  We apologize if there is any duplication in emails.

CTF Director Nominations
archived enewslettersWhy not get involved?  CTF could use your expertise.
Every year, three CTF Directors are elected during CTF's Annual General Meeting in April.  To be eligible for the election, CTF must receive your application more than 24 hours before the Annual General Meeting, but we'd much prefer to receive it by mid-January so that we can include your information in the delegate booklets. 
The application is available on our website - www.gotenpinbowling.ca.
If you know of someone who may be interested in becoming a CTF director, please encourage them to submit an application as well.
