For those who have asked how Joe Shebester is doing, I received a message from Jodie, his wife, that he is doing well at home but will be unable to join us for shuffleboard for at least another four weeks. We wish him well in his continued recovery.
The Leesburg, Northern District Mens and Womens Doubles was held Nov. 10 & 11, 2016. It was well attended by 40 participating teams, interested observers and attentive volunteers. Seventeen (13 Men & 4 Women) CMS Club members participated.
The Tournament Director was Donna King. Comfort Cover Systems was the tournament sponsor. The tournament was very well organized and administered to. The Leesburg Shuffleboard Club were excellent hosts. Their nice looking courts had just been redone and they were very fast and challenging.

Thursday morning Nov 3rd was the beginning of the Northern District Pros Only and Amateur Only Doubles Tournament. Candy and Rich Kordeleski with Allen and Joan Best arrived early to get the coffee and donuts going and to set up the tables in the club house.
The CMS crew (volunteers) showed up to clean the courts, blow the leaves, bead the courts and set the stage for the tournament. Our mascot roosters were there to greet us. One of the players relaxed on a courtside bench in great anticipation for the start of the tournament. Rich and Carolyn Burrell were the Northern District Directors for the tournament and the Beachside Candy Company was our sponsor. We had 21 Pro teams with 17 players from CMS and 13 Amateur teams with 14 players from CMS.
After all the players had arrived and checked in, Allen Best began the day with some announcements, a silent prayer and the pledge of allegiance. Pat King, President of the Northern District, made some announcements and then the 50/50 winning ticket was drawn. The teams were assigned their courts and a friendly competitive day ensued. Part way through the first matches we had some rain and had to sweep, dry and re-bead the courts all over again. The remainder of the day was beautiful.
Friday Morning during the final matches of the tournament the emergency unit of the New Smyrna Beach Fire Department and EVAC Unit came to attend a medical episode experienced by one of the visiting participants. We are glad to have these highly skilled FD professionals available in our community. A photographer from the News Journal On Line came to photograph our event that may end up in next Fridays newspaper edition.
We would like to thank the CMS Club Crew who worked so hard to keep the tournament running so smoothly. The only way we can have a successful tournaments like this is by the help and support of all our wonderful volunteers. So a big cheer and THANK YOU for the Crew.

Having participated at other shuffleboard clubs this tournament season, I was impressed with these clubs being hospitable, accommodating and well organized.
I just noticed that we only have two (2) volunteers signed up for the upcoming Northern District Tournament being held here tomorrow, Thursday thru Friday, Nov 3-4. We will have approximately 28 teams visiting our club and that is why we will need more than two volunteers to sweep the courts, wax the discs and bead the courts between matches.
If you are not playing in this tournament and will be in the area, it would be greatly appreciated if you would volunteer to help out your CMS Club. Please let us know ASAP if we can count on your support. Call Allen Best at (302) 841-0251 or Bonnie Radke at (386) 402-7105. Thanks
We have finalized the shirts that we will be selling for our 80th Anniversary. They will be polyester and the base color is light gray. We have shirts in the cue house for you to try on (to make sure you order the correct size.). They seem to run a bit large. We have S, M, L, and XL for $16.00 and if you need 2XL we can get them for $17.00. We are taking orders for the shirts. As soon as we have 50 shirts ordered and paid for we will have them printed. Please speak with Allen Best, Dennis Buelk, Bonnie Radke and Richard Kordeleski if you need us to get the (try-on) shirts out of the store room for you. Thanks for your attention to this matter.

Bob Finta would like to get a message to our members to support Dorothy Hukill for state government. She was instrumental in getting $76K for improvements to our club as a state grant. That money prompted the City of NSB and the Village Improvement Association to kick in $$$ to pay the bill for : the public bathroom, refinishing the courts, putting covers on courts that didn’t have covers, giving us the light poles we have now, new AC and heater for the clubhouse, painting the aprons around the court, repiping the drainage, new disks, etc.
Without her cooperation we would have nothing done. When I approached her she gave her approval for the project and appointed an aide to sheppard the request through the legislature. He would appreciate it if you would consider voting for Dorothy again this year. Thank you for your support.
