All Bundled Up

Saturday was our first Executive Board Meeting of the New Year. The Minutes will be posted in the Cue House. Allen Best, President, called the meeting to order and we discussed painting the courts, the Mayor’s Memorial/Club Memorial Tournament, the Mardi Gras Parade and our upcoming Northern District Tournament. We also discussed preliminary preparations for the end of season CMS Annual Club Banquet.

Allen called the General Meeting to order with a prayer and the pledge of allegiance. Twenty-four (24) members attended the meeting. Allen mentioned the new posted updated schedule and asked Bill Boyes for a report on nominations for the Executive Board. It is very important that we have a full Executive Board in charge of running the club, so if you are interested in stepping up, please contact Bill Boyes, Candy Kordeleski or Don Nephew.

WE NEED VOLUNTEERS FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT TOURNAMENT SCHEDULED ON OUR COURTS THIS COMING THURSDAY AND FRIDAY.

Bill Boyes had been nominated to be a Life Member. We took a secret ballot and his Life Membership was approved FOR THIS NOTABLE CLUB HONOR.  Congratulations Bill.

The Executive Board Meeting scheduled for March 3rd has been MOVED TO MONDAY, MARCH 5TH AT 9:00 AM followed by the GENERAL BOARD MEETING AT 10:00 AM.  The final Intercity Competition/Banquet in Deland is scheduled for March 6th or 7th (rain day). This is where the winning Club Trophies are awarded for this Intercity season’s end.

The End of Season CMS Club Banquet has been moved to March 24th.  It will be a Potluck Dinner with the tickets being offered at $5.00 so the club can purchase a sumptuous Turkey, Ham and Roast Beef.  Everyone else will bring assigned delicious sides and desserts.  Our membership’s home cooking is better, more diverse and much more economical than a lot of the restaurants. Stay tuned, ciao!

The club supplied two hams cooked by the  Joan Best and Barb Fortini. Also a turkey cooked by Debbie Evans. We had close to 50 members bring food to celebrate the holidays. Joan said a prayer for those who were ill and/or were traveling this season. Al Best made some club  announcements and congratulated Sid Pomainville (84 y0)  for coming in Second in the Main after a twelve (12) year break from tournaments.   We had a 50/50 drawn by Randy Radke and won by Mouse Wolven. Following a wonderful dinner, the tables and chairs were put away and some of the members stayed for a friendly game of Bunco. Casey came dressed as a Christmas Tree.  (was her costume for a fund raiser).  Hopefully everyone has a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. See you all Next Year.
