Grand prix program

The Grand Prix Point program for Scholarship Awards is a program designed to reward participation in youth bowling. With continuous participation in an organized youth league and tournaments, each bowler will earn points which will be converted into scholarship dollars upon graduation from high school. This system should be based upon league participation and tournament participation. Once a local plan is developed and adopted, this plan must be forwarded to the OBCA Youth Committee for review and approval.

Other responsibilities of the local group will be local fundraising, enrollment to participate in the program and reporting of local points for each participating youth bowler. All monies raised at the local level must be forwarded to the Foundation of the OBCA within 30 days of the completion of the event or receipt of the money. All record of local funds and individual points and fund records are on computer which is stored in the State OBCA office. Proper backup and duplication of these records will be stored off site.

In order to develop and maintain this as the largest scholarship fund in any sport, it will take the combined effort of every Iowa BPA Proprietor on the local and state level. Statewide fund-raising programs will be developed and conducted to fund the program.

Corporate sponsors will be solicited to enhance the fund raising efforts. In-house fund-raising activities will be conducted by the Youth Leagues following suggested guidelines which will be provided. Grand Prix. Enrolled youth bowlers accumulate "points" when participating in league bowling, tournaments, and other related bowling activities. The more bowling activities a youth participates in each year, the more points scholarship dollars will be earned and credited to the individual youth account.

Copyright by Iowa BPA. In the s the country has been quietly building up its tourist trade although political uncertainty in the region has not helped. Recent figures reveal that the country now attracts just under 4m visitors a year which is not bad when you consider that the population is only 9m. Of these nearly one million are Germans, half a million are French. In general, however, they do not stay in Tunis but rather the tourist centers further south in Monastir and Djerba.

In recent years the Tunis authorities have been working hard to improve the city. Tunis is situated on a large lagoon, which links it to the sea seven miles away. Under French rule a channel was dredged to the city and a port area built. Pollution became a serious problem but in it was decided to improve the situation. Large areas were drained, nearly halving the size of the lake but providing land for plush new developments.

The intention is to run a race on the streets of one of these lakeside areas - known as Berge du Lac - and the intention is very clearly to give Tunis a little bit of Monaco-like glamour to attract more visitors. With interest in Formula 1 in Germany very high thanks to the adventures of Michael Schumacher and Mercedes-Benz, Tunis should at least be able to attract more Germans. The planned circuit is located close to the international airport and there are plenty of hotels.

The climate is Mediterranean, although in midsummer it can get very hot. For the Formula 1 authorities, Tunis would solve several problems.
