Erin
started out by being in a port crib in
her Mothers Office. She has been to
more tournaments than most kids her age.
Her first tournament she ever attended
was in Corpus Christi TX, she was 3
months old. She started selling 50/50
tickets at the age of 5 with one of the
directors of the MBA to raise money for
Scholarships for the Youth of Memphis at
the City, State and Southern
Tournaments. She often tells the
Directors and bowlers that she should be
a life member of the Bowling Association
as she has put in well over 10 years of
her life working tournaments.
Erin has
always been interested in the workings
of the Board. She is proud to represent
Memphis under the direction of Teresa
Padell, Joan Demarco, Judy Jones, Mark
Hansgen, and James Wooten, our Adult
Youth Directors of the MAUSBC. She
loves to work with people and wants to
see the sport of bowling continue to
grow. She has always taken her position
on the MAUSBC Youth Board very seriously
and is now very committed to doing a
good job for her new position as the TN

Erin’s
Passion in life is first and foremost
her Lord and Savior, then Bowling and
Dance.
