The Coronado/Mainland Shuffler

Please Note: Those interested in helping decorate the float should meet at  the club house at 4:00 pm where we will also distribute beads.  From there we will proceed to Tom Grubb’s house across from the courts to decorate the float. We will then all gather at 5:30 pm in front of the Oceania Condos at 421 South Atlantic Ave. Please wear bright Mardi Gras colors (purple, green, gold) and if possible masks and hats for the fun. The parade will begin at 7:00 pm and usually takes approximately an hour to finish. We will be carrying signs and cue sticks. Beads will be thrown to the crowd along the parade route. Lots of fun and laughter. Come join us. See you there. Ciao!

We would like to thank Rich Kordeleski and his daughter for all their time and hard work lettering these Tournament Boards. They look so nice and are greatly appreciated because they give our club a little touch of class.

The CM Shuffleboard Club hosted the Northern District Pro Only/Amateur Only Doubles on Feb 28th/ Mar 1st. Both days were absolutely gorgeous for playing this tournament. Richie and Carolyn Burrell were our outstanding Directors with an assist from Bonnie (in training).

Marguerite Fortier was hard at work in the kitchen and our regular court clean up crew (& new member Charlie Copley) arrived to help prep the courts for the competition. Kristin Akin from Edward Jones (321-514-7495) was our generous sponsor arriving with donuts and a friendly smile. CM Shuffleboard also co-sponsored this tournament. We had a 50/50 drawing which Mouse Woven won ($$). Tom Carbonell called us to order with a silent prayer and then the Pledge of Allegiance.

We drew our courts and played all day with a break for lunch. Thank you to Tom Carbonell who made a wonderful Pulled Pork on rolls for those interested in buying an inexpensive hot lunch(sold out).  Thank you to our volunteers who worked during the two days to support the participants (Lola Ho, Candy Kordeleski, Rich Kordeleski, Cindy Wonson, Pete Butchko, Mary Harlow, Sid Pomainville, Gerry & Connie Bousquet and Jeanie Wachter).  If I have left anyone out, Please know that you are also appreciated.

Today was nice and cool for cleaning and waxing our courts in preparation for the Northern District Tournament coming to us this Thursday and Friday. A big Thank You to our Thirteen (13) volunteers who showed up to do the necessary prep-work. We had far less leaves to blow off the courts this morning due to Tom Carbonell’s hard work clearing off leaves on Sunday. We swept the courts and then washed and waxed them. Rich’s Son-In-Law, Gary Gonzalez, came from Ohio to visit and was volunteered to work on the courts. Thanks a lot! Gary sharpened all the pencils then he and Paul Fortier washed and polished the chalk boards after which he helped wax the courts. The sponges were all washed and the discs were also cleaned and waxed by our volunteers.

Thanks to all our Volunteers who help keep this club running. Tom Carbonell, Randy and Bonnie Radke, Wayne Biggs, Bob Stock, Paul Fortier, Joe Kasben, Bruce Bancroft, Al Best, Tim Pergrem, Rich Kordeleski and Felix Piscitelli. Tom Carbonell picked up Egg McMuffins from MacDonalds to feed some of our volunteers. Hope to see you again next time we need some volunteers.  Ciao!
