The Coronado/Mainland Shuffler

The usual clean up crews showed up to prep the Courts and man the Kitchen for the Northern District Any Doubles Tournament. A Big Shout Out and Thank You to Rich Kordeleski who organized all our Volunteers (who are too many to mention) but are sincerely appreciated. Fifty-Four (54) Shufflers arrived for the challenge. Twenty-Eight (28) members of the CMS Club participated in this tournament. Our guest shufflers enjoyed coffee, donuts and tea while our volunteers prepared the courts.  Tom Carbonnell, President, had us all gather outside for a silent prayer and led us in the Pledge of Allegiance.  Pat King had us say a silent prayer for Jack Wooten, who had passed away last week and then made some announcements.  Allen Dronsfield announced winners from previous tournaments.

Thank you to Richie and Carolyn Burrell who were the directors for the Tournament and our Sponsors who were Tim Pergrem from T&T Painting and the CMS Shuffleboard Club.  Also thank you to Donna King for helping out when Richie stepped out for a previous appointment.

The CMS Club is hosting The Northern District Tournament on our courts this Thursday and Friday. This Tournament does not run itself. We need Volunteers to help with the courts and the discs throughout the tournament. We also would appreciate a good turn out of our members to cheer on the participants. So far I have one person signed up to help. Please help support your club and the other members. The morning volunteers on Thursday need to be at the courts by 8:00 am to help set up. We appreciate your participation in this event.

Sigrid Reichert put a comment on my note about Jeannette Gagnon.   No One let me know this.   Our prayers are with you Sigrid and we hope you are returning for the winter.

“My husband Jim Reichert also passed away in July. He was a member of the Edgewater Club, Mainland Club and for a short time Coronado before he became disabled.”

Joan Best sent a notice to me from Leo Gagnon’s niece that her aunt, Jeanette passed away in July and that Leo Gagnon has dementia and will not be back to the New Smyrna area. Joan sent a sympathy card from the club…I have an address for Leo: 7 Lilac Dr, Gorham, NH 03581… thanks a lot!

Leo was a member of Edgewater Shuffleboard and then joined Mainland when Edgewater closed.  He then joined CMS when the two clubs were combined.  He made the Northern District Hall of Fame in 2013 and enjoyed playing in our Intercity competition.  Jeanette was a social member of our club.  They will be missed.

PLEASE MARK YOUR CALENDARS: On  Oct 16th at 9:00 am we will need volunteers to wash, wax and clean the courts for the Northern District Tournament which will be held on the 18th and 19th. We need to wash out the erasers and wash the calk boards and make everything look ship shape.

During the Tournament on Oct 18th and 19th  which starts at 9:00 am, we will need volunteers to help out . We need people to sign up for the morning or afternoon on the first day to set up the courts and help with the waxing during the tournament.  Please come early to help set up the courts.  We also need people for the morning on the second day to wax discs and sweep the courts after the tournament.

The sign up sheet for both above events are in the Cue House. Please volunteer to help. Without our volunteers we would not be a club. Thanks for your attention to this request. See you there.

Time to Wash and Wax the courts
