The General Board meeting began at 11:00 am with 27 participants including the Executive Board members.

We discussed the upcoming events for the club. The Mayors Tournament will be on Tuesday, February 7th at 8:30 am. There will be a $2.00 participation fee plus a contribution from the CMS Club to be used as prize money. The club will supply lunch in the form of subs, chips and drinks. The tournament will be run like the Singles Mingles matches. (depending on having enough participating pros that can be partnered with amateurs.)

PLEASE NOTE:  The previous published schedule is incorrect.  The CMS Club will be participating in the Mardi Gras Parade on Feb 28th at 7:00 pm.

We also discussed having a Novice Fun Day Tournament for those new members who are relatively inexperienced in match play.

Scoring, which was scheduled to follow the General Board meeting, was cancelled due to rain.  Even our mascot rooster was trying to stay out of the rain.

In the middle of our meeting  a determined lady and her dog came into the club house in-order to sign up as a new member.

The CMS Club Executive Board meeting began at 10:00 am with 9 board members and 4 member participants. The minutes from this meeting will be posted at a later date. We discussed having cotton anniversary shirts available for those members who preferred cotton to the polyester gray club shirts originally ordered. Please speak with Bonnie about ordering cotton shirts for $13.00 or polyester shirts for $16.00. The polyester shirts run large and the cotton shirts are not preshrunk.

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.

We also discussed having a Memorial Shuffleboard Tournament to honor those members who had passed away in the past two years.

There was a ten minute break before the General Board Meeting.

VERY IMPORTANT: on Tuesday, January 10th, we will need a crew (VOLUNTEERS) to help wash, clean, and maybe wax our courts in order to get them ready for the up-coming Northern District Tournament to be held at NSB on Thur, Jan 12th and Fri, Jan 13th. We also need people to wash the scoreboards and clean the erasers as well.

PLEASE SIGN UP ON THE SHEET IN THE CUE HOUSE TO VOLUNTEER to help with the Northern District Pro/Am Only Tournament. We will also need a crew to wax discs and bead the courts as needed in-between the matches. Members participating in the tournament are not allowed to volunteer.  Crew members can sign up for half a day or a whole day.  On the second tournament day (Friday) we only need a few people to help-out till approximately 2pm.  Thanks in advance for your consideration and help.

I was informed this afternoon that we actually had three delicious hams at the pot luck dinner. Also that I was incorrect in who cooked the hams. We must thank Don Nephew, Connie Bousquet and Arlene Jabaut. In fact when I went back for seconds on the ham there was barely any left. Thank you for your hard work.  Merry Christmas to all.

Last night we held our Christmas Pot Luck Dinner. Johnnie, Betty and Felix came early and did a wonderful job of setting up the tables and decorating them with Poinsettias, Christmas hats and festive place settings. Johnnie also provided personal pictures of club members in Christmassy card frames for everyone to enjoy. Approximately 40 club members began arriving at 5:00 pm. Mary McConnell was collecting the 50/50 at the door.

Allen Best and Joan had company from out of town so Johnnie Connors (VP) took over the President’s duties in between taking pictures of almost everyone who had arrived. She had us say a silent prayer for those who were missing and John Fortini reminded us to say a special prayer for Wayne who is North with his children. We then filed out in an orderly fashion to sample the bountiful and delectable Pot Luck dishes. Arlene Jabaut and Barb Fortini home-cooked two scrumptious  hams that were donated by the club. Everyone else supplied the delicious sides and desserts. Arden drew the 50/50 raffle ticket and Betty announced the winning number which Mona Carkner was lucky enough to have.

After dinner everyone helped with the clean up and some members (enough to occupy three tables) stayed to play Bunco. We thanked everyone for a wonderful evening and wished all a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Just a reminder that this Friday is our Christmas Celebration Pot Luck Dinner. The club is supplying two delicious Hams and everyone else will bring the side dishes. Please sign up in the Cue House so we know how many will attend. We had 60 plus people for our Thanksgiving Dinner so lets see if even more club members will be able to attend. See you there!
