This Tuesday, February 7th is the MAYOR’ S TOURNAMENT which is open to all members of the CMS Club. We currently have a sign up sheet in the Cue House for participants and volunteers. Our Mayor will be attending, so it would be nice if everyone showed up in their new Anniversary Club Shirts (weather permitting). We would love to have you participate or be a spectator to cheer on your favorite shufflers. The sign up sheet helps us determine the number of really nice subs needed for participants and support crew. Let us ALL come on out to support our club  during the MAYOR’S TOURNAMENT!

The monthly Executive Board Meeting is this Sat, Feb. 4th beginning at 10:00am to be followed by the General Club Meeting at 11:00am. Please plan to attend the meeting to discuss the upcoming events such as the Mayor’s Tournament, the Masters Tournament, the Mardi Gras parade and Annual End of Season Banquet celebration honoring our 80th Anniversary. It is necessary for all active members to participate in order to help keep our club functioning. This is your club and we appreciate any ideas that you might have. All members are always invited to participate in the board meetings.  The two meetings will be followed by Scoring for those who are participating. See you there.

Mary Harlow will be directing Saturday Morning Scoring every Saturday morning at 12:00 noon. You use four discs on four different courts and try to make your best score. They will total all the scores and at the end of the season, they will announce the winners. TBA but I believe it is at the End of Season (80th Anniversary) Banquet. Mary will explain all the rules on Saturday.

Felix arrived early to sweep and prepare the courts for the First Singles Mingles of the winter season.  Dennis Buelk, the tally-man, collected the entry fee and signed up the avid shufflers who arrived to compete. Eight (8) Pros and Seven (7) Amateur/State Ams signed up. They took their place on the courts after drawing a partner.  We played five games with twelve frame matches.  Each amateur was paired with a pro. There was only one amateur bye who served as a pusher for two pros.

Winning  Pros…..First Place: Phil Wade, Second Place: Dennis Buelk  Third Place:  Tom Rimmer.  Winning  Amateurs…..First Place: Zak Wonson; Second Place: Paul Fortier and Third Place: Jerry Jabaut. Congratulations!  Thanks again to all of you who participated and continue to support this event. These matches take place on the second and fourth Tuesday every month starting at 8:30am.  If you want to participate, place it on your calendar for next month.

The Pros…Tom, Dennis and Phil

The Ams…Jerry, Zak and Paul

Mouse has recently been missed at CMS Club activities due to a leg injury that may limit his mobility till March. He is missed because of his superior play and ability to make us lighten up and laugh by throwing out humorous one-liners that are sometimes self-deprecating. GET WELL SOON MOUSE!

CMS Club Fun Day started at noon with a social  and Hot Dog lunch. Rich and his crew set up all twenty courts with their designated obstacles while Allen organized the team playing sheets and Joan collected for the 50/50 raffle. Marguerite and Paul set up the coffee, tea and a Gorgeous Cake (thank you Marguerite, it was delicious). Barb Fortini registered the players, collected the $1.00 entry fee and then began to dole out the Hot Dogs and chips with the help of Joan. Barb Fortini also drew the 50/50 raffle ticket and Bob Tager was the lucky winner.  Forty-six (46) enthusiastic club shufflers joined in the fun competition to see which team could score the highest.

The Top Winning Team was Joan Best, Felix, Jean Tardif and Floyd Conley with a score of 1290. The Second Team was Bonnie, Darrel and Dave with a score of 1200. The Third Team was Don, Jim, John Zwolak and Joe Shebester (Did not stay for pictures) with a score of 1080. At the end of play, Allen passed out the winnings so as to have every team get a little bit of the Entry Fee Purse. All in all it was a great day with a whole lot of friendly competition. Darrel had the Highest Individual Score with 380 followed by Bonnie with 370 and then Bob Tager with 360.   Please plan to come join us next month for some more friendly competition and lots of FUN.
