The Coronado/Mainland Shuffler

Today dawned pretty cold but Jerry and Arlene Jabaut arrived early and began blowing and cleaning the courts. This job was made easy by all the work Tom Carbonell did previously. Mary McConnell and Dave Helverson came next. Randy and Bonnie Radke came to help along with Bill Boyes and Joan Sanford. Together we cleaned all the discs, waxed courts 9 thru 12, washed the remaining courts, sponges and scoreboards. Arlene swept and vacuumed the cue house while the courts were being waxed. We still need volunteers to work the Tournament on Thursday and Friday. You do not need to stay the whole day. The sign up sheet has different times you would work. We have a lot of players coming. We need your help. Thanks for all the hard work. Ciao!

We Need Volunteers for our ND Tournament on Thursday and Friday. Many of our usual volunteers will be playing in the tournament so we need other members to sign up to help. You will be asked to wax discs and re-bead courts. We would love to have you cheer our team on to the win. Please sign up in the cue house for the hours you can work. We will have close to 75 players participating so we need your help. Thanks.

Hi Folks, on Tuesday we need some volunteers to help get the courts in order. Wash the sponges and boards, wash the courts with water, sweep out the cue house. Hope you will join us at 9:00. See you there. Ciao!

Mouse Wolven (386-676-0736) is looking for a Pro partner for the ND Pro Only/Amateur Only Tournament at CMS next Thursday, Dec 5th and 6th. Any one else looking for either a Pro or an Amateur, please let me know.  We also have the sign up sheets for Volunteers for the wash day and the tournament.  Please Volunteer.  Thanks

This morning was really chilly but we still had Fifteen (15) hardy souls show up for the Singles Mingles Challenge. By the time we had cleaned the courts we were already shedding our extra jackets. Dennis collected the entry fee and explained the rules. We played five matches of 12 frames, recording the winners at the end of play. When we were finished playing, Dennis tallied up the scores while the rest of us cleaned the courts. The winners were: Pro/State Ams: First: Zak Wonson, Second: Randy Radke, and Third: Mouse Wolven. Amateurs: First Tom Carbonell, Second: Cindy Wonson and Third: Jerry Jabaut. Congratulations to all the winners. Hope to see you back here next month. Have a Very Happy Thanksgiving. Ciao!

Just a reminder that Singles Mingles is Tuesday starting at 8:45. We will all then be busy with family and friends……..Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. See you all back here Tuesday, Dec 3rd to help clean and prep the courts for our  ND Tournament on Dec 5th and 6th. The SIGN UP SHEETS for Work Day and for Tournament Day will be posted in the Cue House. Please note that this tournament is actually two, Pro Only and Amateur Only so we will need plenty of volunteers to help with the courts and the discs.

The tables were set up and the room arranged by Tom Carbonell.  Johnnie Conner is back and has once again out done herself. The decorations were festive and beautiful for our Club’s Thanksgiving celebration. Thirty-Two (32) people came to the Pot Luck. The Club supplied the turkey (prepared by Fortinis) and the ham (prepared by Tom Carbonell). The rest of the fixings from our participants were wonderfully delicious. Joan Best said a prayer for us.  We all ate too much and enjoyed each others company visiting with some of our snowbirds and others who have returned. Following dinner, all the tables and chairs were cleared and thereafter some of the diners stayed for a fun game of Bunco. Wishing all of you and yours a Happy Thanksgiving week. Hope too see you all at our Christmas Pot Luck next month. Ciao!
