Yesterday while playing shuffleboard we had a visit from Moe and Shauntae Mondesir of Mondesire Travel Bug. He was taking pictures of our shuffleboard courts with his drone and was kind enough to forward them to me.

The Executive Board Meeting was called to order at 10:00 am. Thanks to Honey for supplying the donuts and Marguerite for preparing the coffee. Seven (7) Board Members were present with only Johnnie and Dennis absent.
We discussed the following subjects which have been previously posted.
The Mardi Gras Parade and our support of the SPARC Program.
The meeting was adjourned and after a brief break the General Board Meeting was called to order at 11:00 am.
The General Board Meeting was attended by the seven Executive Board members and Eighteen (18) regular members. Congratulations to Felix Piscitelli for being voted our newest Life Member. Bill Boyes took charge of the re-election of our two Board Directors, John Fortini and Jerry Jabaut. We discussed the tickets for the Annual Banquet, which are now on sale, and our CMS Club advertisement in the Preview (Northern District publication). I will post the minutes from both meetings as soon as they are completed.
The meetings were adjourned and we then played our three regular rounds of shuffleboard.
Bill Boyes and the CMShuffleboard Club will once again be hosting the Special Program and Resource Connection (SPARC) group for recreational activities at our shuffleboard courts. For those who have volunteered to help, please note that this program will begin this Wednesday, March 6th at 6:00 PM. At the end of the program the group will be awarded medals for participation. If you have any Senior Olympic Medals you would be willing to donate to this endeavor, please give them to Bill to use. Thanks!
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.
