The CM Shuffleboard Club is once again hosting the Florida Power and Light Employees Event for a fun day at the court on Tuesday, May 15th at 4:00 pm . We need volunteers to help out setting up the court, showing the employees how to play, cleaning the courts when the event is complete. We might be expecting as many as 40 people. Dennis Buelk will be overseeing the event. We will have the regular Tuesday evening play at 6:30 pm.
If the person who borrowed the Ben Sharman books from our borrowing library has finished reading them, could you please return them to the library. Many of our members are interested in reading them. If you are interested in buying a set the following website has them listed for $16 and $17. http://www.lulu.com/spotlight/bensharman

Mona was admitted to the Hospital of Daytona. She is scheduled to be operated on after clearing up an infection, per Mouse Wolven. We hope that everyone will keep them in their thoughts and prayers.

Carol Finta had been waiting for shoulder replacement surgery.
Friday the doctor took another x-ray and noticed that her shoulder had almost completely healed since she fell a month ago. He decided that it would be best for her to get physical therapy instead of surgery which will start on Monday. The family is hoping to move her to Lexington Place on Monday.
I have some information on the Memorial for Ron Raymond. It will be held Wednesday May 9th at 3:30 pm at the Edgewater Landing Club House. This is on Route 1 in Edgewater across from the Dollar General. Everyone is welcome to come and help us remember Ron.
Ronald Raymond passed away April 30th and I wanted to repost his Club Member Profile we did in 2015. Ron was a true gentleman who happened to be my partner for the last three years in the Northern District No Two Pros Tournaments.
“Our CM Shuffleboard Club Member Profile for this month is on Ron Raymond who has been playing shuffleboard for about 21 years. He is 86 years old and has been one of our club Professionals since 2004. He was born and raised in Danbury, Connecticut and migrated to Edgewater 21 years ago from New Fairfield, Connecticut where he worked as a maintenance engineer. Ron has 4 grand children and 5 great grand children. He first played with the Edgewater Shuffleboard Club before they disbanded and joined up with the Mainland Club which subsequently merged with the Coronado Club to form in 2011 our present day Coronado/Mainland Shuffleboard Club. Ron, always volunteering to help out, is the person who placidly keeps us in-line, organized and on schedule for our Thursday Morning Four-play shuffleboard games. You may also sometimes find him playing on Sunday mornings with some of our other Pros; Dennis, Tom, Pete and Charlie who say that Ron is “One of the overall good guys”.”
He will also be sorely missed,
Bob Finta passed away April 26th and I wanted to repost the Club Member Profile we did in 2015. Bob was our club historian and he will be sorely missed.
“Bob Finta, who is 78 years young, has been a very active member of the CM Shuffleboard Club for over 22 years. During his tenure, Bob has been President, Vice President, a board member liaison for more than 15 years and now Secretary. Bob grew up in New York City and was a 6th grade school teacher for 33 years. He met and married his college sweetheart, Carol, 57 years ago. They have two children, one is a math teacher and the other is a computer programmer. Bob, a Pro since ’94, used to give shuffleboard lessons, but for now, he is more than happy to give helpful pointers on shuffleboard to anyone who may ask. Thank you Bob for all you have done and continue to do to support the CM Shuffleboard Club, it is greatly appreciated!”

Twenty-Three (23) shufflers showed up to meet the challenge of the Thursday Morning Four-Play. Dennis Buelk was the only shuffler to win all four of his games. Arlene was good enough to take the picture for me. Congratulations to all who participated. Hope to see you back again next Thursday. Ciao!

I seem to be the bearer of bad news this week. After a stay in Hospice with health complications, Long Time CMS Member Ron Raymond passed away early this morning. As soon as I have any more information, I will post it on the website. RIP my fine friend and No Two Pros partner.
