Andrea Adamson - Director North

Andrea Adamson was born in Scotland and raised in Palermo, Sicily. Her Father was an Italian prisoner of war when he met Andrea’s mother. They married and relocated to Italy after WW11.

The family moved to St. Louis in the United States when Andrea was 10 years old. The family moved again to San Francisco three years later. She met her future husband in Junior High School. Bill became her sweetheart in High School and they married soon after her graduation from Balboa High School. They share three sons and two granddaughters, with another grandchild on the way.

Andrea started her employment career with Charter Airlines, as a flight attendant (stewardesses, in those days). She worked in a bank and in retail after her children were born, but she seemed unfulfilled with this part of her journey. When she started working at Westlake Bowl she realized very quickly that she had found her niche. She has worked at Classic Bowl in Daly City for 17 years as a Youth Director and at the control desk. Andrea has enjoyed serving as a Director for the San Francisco Women’s Bowling Association and SFUSBC for 23 years, retiring just this last year.

Andrea’s unique talents and work experience have given her many opportunities to host fundraising activities for BVL, and Breast Cancer organizations (such as the Susan G. Koman Breast Cancer and Sisters Network Foundations) by organizing fun tournaments, hosting casino trips and holding raffles. Andrea writes articles and promotions about bowling and is a Charter Member of the California Bowling Writers. We welcome her on board and know she will serve with diligence and humor.
