The Coronado/Mainland Shuffler

Today Ten (10) Amateurs and Six (6) Pros got together to challenge one another in  shuffleboard. Supervised by Dennis Buelk who collected the entry fee and gave us the guidelines for five matches (twelve frames each). We drew a new partner after each match after which the winners recorded their scores. The day was hot and the games were brisk. After Dennis had tallied up the scores the Pro Winners were……First, Darrel Harman; Second, Dennis Buelk and Third, Rex Galusha.  The Amateur Winners were…….First, Paul Fortier;  Second Jean Tardif and Third, Marguerite Fortier.  Prize money was handed out and pictures were taken.

Tonight, Fat Tuesday, for the NSB Mardi Gras Parade, the CMS Club participants will all meet back at the Club House at 5:00 pm before heading out to the parade lineup at  5:30 pm.  Looks like the temperature will be in the 70s. A whole lot warmer than last year.

“It is with deep sadness that I must tell you that my dear Penny, passed away peacefully at home February 16, following a brave battle with cancer. She was 73 years old. Penny’s cancer was not discovered until mid January, and together, we lived life to the fullest right up to almost the end.

Penny land I were married 52 years. She also leaves behind children Brian
(married to Tracy) and Barb (married to Brent), and grandchildren Aubrey (14), Graydon (11), and Rowan (6 weeks).

Penny enjoyed the friendships and activities at Coronado/Mainland Shuffleboard Club since 2004. During that time, we enjoyed living on Bouchelle Island in New Smyrna Beach.

There will be a Celebration of Life for Penny on April 29, 2 PM, at Frenchman’s Bay Yacht Club, 635 Breezy Dr., Pickering Ontario.,” .

Last night we were all saddened to hear the news that Penny Boyes had lost her battle with cancer and passed away on Thursday February 16th. A sympathy card will be sent from the club expressing our sincere condolences to Bill and his family. Our Thoughts And Prayers Are With Him.

Our February Pot Luck Dinner was set up with tables, chairs, placemats, coffee, tea and lemonade by Marguerite, Paul and the crew.  The social hour began as the members arrived with their goodies. Joan Best collected for the 50/50 and the tables began to fill with around 40 plus members. We were joined by some brand new shuffleboard members and social members. Mary Harlow brought her sister Peggy from Virginia.  Felix (the Cat) and Mary brought their friend Joan.

Allen Best welcomed everyone and asked if anyone had heard news about Wayne Lockwood and/or Penny Boyes. At that time there was no recent news. We said a silent prayer for them and others who were missing.

Allen listed off the upcoming events and asked that everyone join us at the Mardi Gras Parade on February 28th and sign up as volunteers for our Anniversary Celebration Day on March 4th.  We were also still looking for volunteers for the Masters Tournament on March 23rd and 24th.  Just before we lined up for food, Peggy drew the 50/50 ticket which Mouse Wolven won.

Everyone lined up in an orderly fashion to partake in the wonderful food. So much to eat and so good. After dinner, the tables and chairs were put away and those who were staying for Bunco retired to the clubhouse room to play. If we missed you this month, hopefully you will join us next month on March 11th for our end of season Anniversary Celebration Dinner. Tickets are still being sold for $20.00 per person for a wonderful meal to be catered by That’s Amore’. Please join us. Ciao!
