The Northern District No Two Pros Tournament on October 26th in Mid Florida Lakes with 36 teams was a very difficult tournament. We would like to Congratulate CMS Member, Mary Ann Pabst and her partner from Deland, Joseph Inga who came in Fourth In Consolation.

For more information about the tournament, please visit the Northern District Website.

Rich and his outstanding court crew arrived early to set up the courts for October’s Fun Day.  The ace kitchen crew arrived to set up the tables, beautiful Halloween decorations, coffee, donuts and cookies as well as setting up for lunch when we finished the event.

Barb Fortini registered the participants and collected the entry free while Allen Best set up the captains and assigned the teams.  Joan Best collected for the 50/50.  We had nine (9) teams with a captain plus two or three players on each team.  We played all twenty courts and scored ten points for each disc properly placed.  When we finished playing, the courts were cleaned and disc’s waxed while the scores were being tallied.  After a great lunch of hot dogs, chips, drinks and deserts, the 50/50 ticket was drawn. Tom Carbonell won the pot.

Then Allen announced the top three teams.  First Place:  John Fortini’s team with 1500 points (Jane and Bob Tager and Randy) .  Second Place: Don Nephew’s team with 1150 points (Rose Sargent, Joyce DiPietro and Tom Carbonell) .  Third Place: Barb Fortini’s team  with 1100 points (Allen Best, Betty Buccini and a ghost player).  Everyone had a great time and all shared in the booty.  Hope to see you for November’s Fun Day!  Ciao!

After having the finals of our Northern District Tournament earlier in the day, it was a relief to relax and spend some quality time socializing over dinner. We had 25 members attend and bring a large variety of wonderful dishes to share. Bob Finta and Carol came with her wonderful homemade cookies. Allen Best was feeling better so he was able to join us for dinner. Allen welcomed new members and some of our returning Snow Birds. Joan Best collected the 50/50 and lead us in a prayer. Social Mahjong Members Patrick and Barb Clark won the 50/50 pot.  After dinner 16 members stayed to play Bunco. See you at November’s Pot Luck.  Ciao!

Thursday, Oct 19, was the first day of the Northern District Any Doubles Tournament at the CMS Shuffleboard Courts. Candy and Richard Kordeleski arrived early to start preparing the facilities for the tournament. Candy made the coffee and arranged the kitchen. Rich blew the leaves away and prepped all eleven courts we needed for the day. Tom Rimmer came early to help as well. Johnnie Conner and Betty Buccini had decorated the hall with lovely Fall colors and beautiful center pieces on the tables.  Barb Nephew and Betty Buccini took care of the entry fees, Joan Best collected the 50/50 and the tournament directors Rich and Caroline Burrell signed the players up and assigned them their courts. Allen Best was home sick so our VP Johnnie Conner took over to welcome the participating players. During the day our volunteers stepped in to help the players by waxing discs and beading courts. Thanks to all  our volunteers, Don Nephew, Diane Hamas, Gerry Bousquet, Lorretta Cantalupo, Bob Stock and Barb Fortini.

We had 22 Teams participating in the tournament. We thank our tournament sponsors Climatron, Inc from Daytona Beach and the Coronado/Mainland Shuffleboard Club.
