March, 2009

Ms. Barbara Wegner, a Director on the Memphis Area USBC Board, is the newest inductee in the Tennessee State Women's USBC Bowling Association's Hall of Fame for Meritorious Service.

Barbara has supported the TSWBA for years and has worked within that organization in many different capacities.

Currently she is a TSWBA Director and has been for the past 15 years and prior to her becoming a Director, she was a delegate for 7 years.  She also serves on the Tournament and Jamboree Committees.  She has been involved in the National, State and Local 600 Bowling Club for the past 33 years and is the Vice President of the Tennessee 600 Club.

Her involvement in bowling extended beyond the local and state levels.  She was a delegate to the WIBC Convention for 18 years and after the national merger, she has been a USBC delegate since its inception.

Ms. Wegner was born in Chicago, IL. and graduated from Mozart Grammar School and Kelvyn High School.  She attended Anderson University in Anderson, IN.

Moving to Bartlett, TN. in 1970, she began a career at First Tennessee and then to TBC Corp. where she retired after 32 years of service.

She started her bowling career at Imperial Lanes and continues to bowl in 3 leagues while subing in others.

Her volunteering extends beyond her duties as a Director on the TSWBA & Memphis boards.  She works with all bowlers, including the Memphis youth.  Not being content with her responsibilities as Director, she also volunteers at the MAUSBC office 2-3 times a week, filling awards, filing papers and any other way she can help out.

Ms. Wegner's dedication is only surpassed by her winning smile, which is always on display.
