Election of officers is today at 10

SHUFFLEBOARD CLUB

The Shuffleboard Club will elect a new slate of officers for the next 12 months at 10 a.m. today, May 11, at the shuffleboard courts.

Members will also vote on changes in the club’s bylaws, with the goal of expanding leadership positions to better serve the growing membership. As the club’s active membership has doubled over the last year, additional ways for people to be involved in the club are many. Membership growth continues with active members ranging in age from 63-93. The club has attracted new LW residents as well as people who have lived here for 14 years.

Most of the newcomers have never played shuffleboard, but prospective members sometimes bring experience with indoor courts, just like the one in LW. The best way to get started with LW shuffleboard is to stop by the courts Monday and/or Wednesday for open play and practice from 9-11 a.m.

In addition, Tuesday evenings have available courts from 6-8. Personalized training is available at these sessions. For more information, call or text Kay Mount at 775-527-0426.
