Well it is time to begin our weekly Dollar Tournaments. December 3rd we will start our Dollar Tournaments which leads to the Club Championship in March. Pros will be separated from the Amateurs, so it is a great time for our Amateurs to get used to tournaments. Anyone may come for these challenges but only members can participate in the March final Club Championship. This is just for fun and practice so we look forward to everyone coming. $1.00 entry fee goes toward the Monthly Payout to the winner for the month.

Lewis Kagan and Roger Brown did not stay for pictures.
It is with a very heavy heart that I inform all of you that we have lost a very close friend and long time member of Deland and Orange City Shuffleboard Club, Roger Vandevender. Roger passed away October 13th in Elkins, WV.
Roger was a dear friend to many of us – past and present. His witty remarks, heartwarming laughter and love of the game brought us joy and will forever remind us why we, like him, love this game.
The club will be making a donation to plant 3 trees, in his memory, and as such will symbolize Roger’s impact on us all: past, present and future.
We believe Alice and her sister Pat will be spending the winter in Florida, however, no details as yet.
