This year the Northern District’s Masters Tournament will be held on the CMS Club courts on Thursday, March 23rd beginning at 8:30 am. The player participants are some of the best shufflers from around the Northern District who will be competing for recognition and achievement. We would like to have volunteers to not only set up the courts before and during play, but also to push and call out the scores.
Only the Top 8 players in each category (Pro, Amateurs, Women and Men) will compete against each other, two at a time, so a pusher will be needed on each court to keep score and send the discs back. All players and volunteers will also be eligible to participate in the Banquet Dinner to be held on Friday night, March 24th, at Quail Hollow. Stan Williamson will be our gracious host. Please sign up in the cue house to help in this exciting event which so happens to be taking place during our club’s 80th Anniversary Year. Spectators are welcomed.
Just a reminder that the Mayor’s Tournament is February 7th beginning at 8:30 am. We would like to have as many members as we can get to show up and participate in the fun. The more people we have the better our city support will be. Even if you do not play in the tournament, we need lots of spectators to show club participation. We also will need some people to volunteer to clean the courts, wax the discs and generally keep the game going. We appreciate and need all our volunteers. Please sign up in the cue house to help. Without our volunteers this club cannot function.
Dennis Buelk will start and oversee Singles Mingles for CMS Club members only on Tuesday, January 24th and thereafter on the Second and Fourth Tuesdays of each month. There is a $2.00 participation fee which will be awarded as prize money to those who place. Match play begins at 9:00 am with a break for lunch (bring your own) and wraps up around 2:30 pm.
Last night we had our first Pot Luck Dinner for 2017, our 80th Anniversary Year. Around forty (40) famished club members met to socialize and savor the culinary delights. Paul, Marguerite, John and Barb were the first on the scene. The tables had been all set-up. Coffee, lemonade and tea had also been made and set out. Thanks again for all the hard work those club members put in to help set-up the dining facilities. Allen Best got the party started with a silent prayer. He then asked the new members and members who had recently returned to us from up north to stand up and be recognized. Joan collected for those interested in the 50/50 drawing as we came through the door.
Darrel passed around an empathy card to be signed for Bill and Penny Boyes who have returned to Canada for medical care. Darrel also mentioned that he had stopped by to see Roland Gilles widow, Veronica. She would love to hear from and visit with any of the members she knows. Her phone number is 920-980-0520 and resides at 612 S. Pine St.. Wayne Lockwood would also appreciate a call to say hello or a note. His number is 607-372-8105 and his address is 29 Kirkwood Ave., Binghamton, New York 13901.
Gerry Bousquet then presented Allen Best with a “Christmas” basket with presents from members of the club to say a Great Big Thank You for all his hard work as President in guiding us into our club’s 80th Anniversary Year. Joan then pulled the 50/50 ticket and once again “Lucky” Gerry Bousquet won the till. He is so lucky, he should play the lottery!
We then formed a line around the buffet table and sampled each of the wonderful dishes everyone brought to share. We finished up with desert and coffee and then everyone helped to fold and put the tables away. About 20 members stayed to play Bunco. Thanks for a great time. Hope to see you all next month.

Marguerite and her kitchen crew (Candy and Barb Fortini) showed up early to start the coffee and put out the donuts and cakes. Rich and his crew (Joe Shebester, Felix, Allen Best, Tim Pergrem and Darrel) set up the courts for play as the enthusiastic shufflers began to arrive. Tom Grubb delivered the newly cleaned towels just in time (I think we used all of them on the second day). Joan Best collected the 50/50, Connie Bousquet and Barb Nephew collected the entry fees.
Allen Best called us together to say a silent prayer and then lead us in the Pledge of Allegiance. Allen then pulled the 50/50 ticket. Felix had the winning ticket.
Our rooster mascot was on the scene to check us all out and many spectators stopped to watch the play during the day. We received constructive comments about our recently waxed courts and newly renovated discs. A BIG THANK YOU to all our volunteers (Connie Bousquet, Barb Nephew, Arlene, Gerry Bousquet, Paul Fortier and Debbie Evans) who helped out during the day, waxing the discs and re-beading the courts between matches. Without our volunteers we would not have a functioning club.
The second day was a bit more challenging. The final tournaments were played amid drizzling skies and sunshine. We dried and re-beaded the courts and re-waxed the discs several times during the event. Thanks to all who helped keep up.

CMS Club Work Day officially started today at 9 am and finished before 11 am. We had sixteen (16) enthusiastic Volunteers show up to wash, clean, wax and generally prepare our club facility for the upcoming Northern District’s PRO/AM Only Tournament to be held this coming Thursday.
Marguerite Fortier came in early to set-up the coffee, donuts and cake. She then began to work with Arlene, Debbie Evans, Bob Tager and Candy to clean-up all the scoreboards, erasers and benches. Randy, Rich, Bob Stock, Felix, Jerry, Dave, Darrell, Dennis, John Fortini and Arden started washing, cleaning and waxing the courts. John Fortini and Allen also worked and tested the electronics of the PA system. Bonnie, Arlene and Dennis worked on exchanging our daily play discs for newly cleaned and waxed replacement discs. Joe Rossitto showed up to check out all the action.
After a short snack break, the crew continued working on the courts. Darrel washed windows and even stayed after everyone was done to wash the cue house floor. We even had two lovely ladies (looking to be trained by Dennis) come in to sign up to join the club as new members. Thank you so much to all the volunteers who came by to help support the club. Working together only makes our club grow stronger.
