HOW WE GOT STARTED

a group of bowlers were invited to learn more about a

organization called TNBA ( The National Bowling Association).

After learning the history and heritage of the organization, it was

unanimous...we wanted to be apart of it.

 

        WHAT  WE  LEARNED...

  

  The organization started in 1939 in Detroit, MI. This was in a time

 that african-americans were not allowed to participate in the then

 all white bowling associations.This organization helped to

 integrate the sport of bowling. Now both organizations,TNBA

 and USBC  ( formerly ABC & WIBC ) now welcome all races.

 

TNBA 's history and outcast from the other organizations made

it that much more special to the black bowler. Consequently,

every member of TNBA is apart of a large,ever growing, family. 

   As a matter of fact, that was one of the biggest selling points.

" This is one big family reunion, " we were told by the

  representative that came to give us our history lesson for the day. 

 

  As soon as you start to participate in the many functions across the 

  region & nation for TNBA, you realize that you quickly gain long lasting

  relationships as well as enjoying strong competitive bowling.

 

                                     There is so much love and friendship with the people you get

 to know (and even those you don't know ) it is overwhelming.

They come to support your events no matter what, if they can.

 NOW, THAT'S FAMILY!

 

   We were surprised to learn that the South Bend had a senate back

   in the 60's and 70's.The revitalized South Bend Senate intends to

   continue to promote the sport and the organization and make sure that

   we are here to stay.

 

   We officially re-chaptered on December 7, 2003. We experience a few

   growing pains at the start, but overall we have come a long, long way.

 

   We are extremely proud of our senate and what we

   have done in such a short period of time.
