Ben Sharman became a member of the Shuffleboard Club 12 years ago and was a past CMS Club Vice President for 2 years before becoming President of the CMS Club for two years. Ben and his wife Elizabeth started coming to New Smyrna Beach (NSB) from Bethesda, Maryland in 1980 for only a couple of months before finally moving to NSB permanently around 19 years ago. They have been married for 46 years and have 2 children and 3 grand children (twin boys and a girl).
Ben was born in England (British citizen) 89 years ago, Elizabeth was born in Malaysia, their daughter was born in Indonesia and their son was born here in the United States. Ben immigrated to the US in 1949 and became a US citizen. He met and married Elizabeth in Switzerland, spent time in the Peace Corp teaching technical high school in Jamaica and among many other consulting endeavors (with a brief visit to Harvard), Ben became an International Trade Union representative. He and Elizabeth also took the ultimate cruise ship vacation by traveling around the world on the Queen Elizabeth II. What makes Ben’s accomplishments even more remarkable is the fact that he hadn’t even graduated from high school. If you have a little time, sit down with Ben to hear about any number of interesting stories from a man who truly has a far-reaching global life experience.

We have been having such a good time with the Inner City Shuffleboard competition. This is my first year and I was not sure what to expect. The home team supplies the coffee and cake to be enjoyed when we are done playing. We have found the other cities are so friendly and seem to be enjoying this competition as much as our club. This year we have three colored (teams) with many different playing teams in each group. There is the Red Team, the Blue Team and this year for the first time we have a White Team (the team I play with) Al Bessette manages the Red Team, Mary Ann Pabst the Blue Team and Rich Kordeleski the White Team. It is a lot of work so I would like to personally thank them for all their hard work. Today was week four for all the teams. The White Team played the Red Team here at our CM Shuffleboard courts and the Red Team won 8 games and the White Team won 4 games. We look forward to playing Deland next week in Deland. The games are played every Wednesday at 1:00 throughout the Winter, so come on down and enjoy all the fun.
There was an error in the previously posted schedule concerning Single Mingles, which is the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays each month. We are updating the online schedule.

We just learned that Joseph Clement Jr., 80, of Rochester, NY and New Smyrna Beach, FL., passed away peacefully on April 10, 2015 in Florida. Joe was born on Sept. 26, 1934 in Tupper Lake, NY, He had been a well respected member of the CM Shuffleboard Club for over 4 years. He mostly played with the group on Tuesdays but he will be missed by all.
For more information, please refer to his obituary.
On November 20th, we held our Thanksgiving Pot Luck Dinner for the CM Shuffleboard Club members. As you can see from the pictures, we had so many folks sign up that we needed to use the banquet hall instead of our usual dinner room. Joan Best led the pre-meal blessings and Allen Best made some club announcements. Everyone brought delicious dishes to share and the tasty turkey was supplied by a couple of our club members. Johnnie, Betty and several others decorated all the tables and made it look so festive. We all had a great time and greatly enjoyed everyones company during this festive occasion. Many of the members stayed to play Bunko. Y’all HAVE A HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
