Last night was the End of Season Banquet that happens to fall on our 80th Anniversary year. We had over 80 members attend the banquet. Marguerite, Paul, Johnnie, Betty and the usual crew had apparently set up all the tables and decorated them earlier in the day. By the time the attendees arrived at 5:00 pm, everything was looking marvelous.
Don and Barb Nephew greeted us at the door to take our tickets while That’s Amore’ employees were swiftly setting up the dinner buffet tables. Everyone choose their seats, got their drinks and enjoyed a social hour with a wide circle of friends and acquaintances. Allen Best began the proceedings by welcoming all of us and having our newest members stand up and be recognized. Joan Best led us in the evening prayer and then the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag
Allen gave the highlights of our ending season while also mentioning that we had brought home both trophies (A&B) for Inter City and both Trophies for Amateur Men and Amateur Women in the Tournament of Champions. He also thanked Cindy and Zak and their “crew” for helping make our 80th Anniversary celebratory event a resounding success.
Mary Harlow announced the winners for Scoring; Felix Piscitelli with 747 for the men and Candy Kordeleski with 660 for the women. Bob Finta lead the Installation of new Officers, John Fortini and Jerry Jabaut, who were voted in as members of the Executive Board. Allen also thanked outgoing Arden McConnell and Don Nephew for the time they had put in as members of the Executive Board. A shout out went to everyone who had volunteered and helped to make this season a whopping success.
Allen gave out the door prizes, everything from Smoothies to dinners, but the big prize of the evening went to Mary McConnell. Mary won a beautiful afghan made by Carol Finta. The food was good, the company was great and we all had a very good time. Today is the beginning of Daylight Savings and the coming end of a wonderful, enjoyable, fun social/shuffleboard season. Soon at month’s end, our “SnowBirds” will head back North and we will settle in to relax and await the beginning of another CMS Club season. Ciao!

Northern District Tournament of Champions (TOC) was held at Mid Florida Lakes on Mar 9th & 10th, 2017.
Congratulations to the members of the CM Shuffleboard Club who participated and placed in the TOC tournament. There were Nineteen (19) Pro Men, Eleven (11) Pro Woman, Twenty-Six (26) Amateur Men and Nine (9) Amateur Women participating from around the Northern District. The sponsors were: Northern District Shuffleboard Association and Spears.
The Event Director was Jack Wooten with some assistance from Carolyn and Richie Burrell on the first day. Once again, the tournament was very well organized and administered to when you consider that Jack had to keep track of four (4) tournaments running simultaneously. GREAT EFFORT! We also appreciate the efforts of Ron Theriault, President of Mid Florida Lakes, who was ever present helping his club members in waxing discs, directing the preparation of lunch for us on the first day and generally making everyone feel comfortable. The shuffleboard facilities where in great shape and the mixture of 50% Glass Beads and 50% California Slush for beading the courts worked out very well.
Congratulations to the CMS Club members who placed.

Please note that the banquet is on Saturday, March 11th.….which is what the tickets say. The club schedule which is on the website says Friday (which is incorrect). THE BANQUET IS ON SATURDAY….
Saturday, March 4th was breezy and bright. Some members showed up early, just after 8:00 am. The usual volunteers and crew members were hard at work preparing the courts for play, decorating the hall, tables, making coffee and greeting friends as they all arrived for the celebration. Zack Wonson (Chair) and his crew of Arlene, Barb Nephew, Cindy, Candy and Connie had done a great job of organizing, advertising and getting everyone involved. Marguerite, Paul, Mary, Arden, Johnnie, Betty, Candy, Honey, Rich, Felix, John Fortini, Jerry, Gerry, Joan, Allen and many others all deserve a fantastic thank you for a job well done.
Rich Kordeleski saw to it that all the courts were prepared early so as to have some members shuffling around 10:00 am. The populous began to trickle in not too long afterwards. They watched a little and then Arden and Cindy coaxed them onto the courts. With a little instruction, the games began and all seemed to be having a great time.
Jim Hathaway, our New Smyrna Mayor came around 11:00 am and read a Proclamation from the City of New Smyrna Beach Congratulating us on our 80th Anniversary and honoring the club for it’s “on going, excellent service to the community”. The Mayor also announced that he had just become a grandfather to a beautiful baby girl. Congratulations!
The public came to watch, learn and enjoy the day which included cake and ice cream. Some participants joined the club as new members and some signed up to possibly win one of the five raffled memberships to the club. Cindy Wonson will notify each of the winners in the next few day. The winners were Linda Lamons, Charlene Giovanniello, Gerry Alsentzer, Jean Clementi and Mike Webber. The day was fantastic with everyone having a great time. A BIG THANKS FOR ALL THE MEMBERS, MAYOR AND THE PUBLIC WHO JOINED IN TO MAKE THIS DAY A WONDERFUL SUCCESS!
