Players celebrate hearts, flowers and one another
SHUFFLEBOARD CLUB
The Shuffleboard Club’s Valentine’s Day planning committee has been hard at work, readying for the party to be held on Saturday, Feb. 10, from 5-9 p.m. Room 9 in Clubhouse 3 will be amply decorated for the event with cupids, hearts galore and various other symbols of love and romance. Members will enjoy a potluck supper together and then play the dice game “Left, Right, Center.” As always, there will be food, friends and fun. Members are encouraged to come at 3:30 to help decorate the room.
So illustrious of club members willingness to do just about anything to help, a crowd of 13 people showed up the morning of Jan. 31 to strip the walls, cabinets and closets of contents in preparation for the painting of the court building. Mike from Service Maintenance was beyond pleased.
The Tuesday evening league game was unusually enthusiastic. The players realized they would have to hang up their cue sticks and put everything on hold while the building is closed so they really got into their last game.
Jan. 26 winners: Team Sally overtook Team Carol winning nine games out of 12. Team Sally all-game winners were Roger Bennett, Sally Fowler, Donna Perkins and Linda Peters. Team Milly and Team Shell tied it up, each winning six games. Team Milly had no game winners but Team Shel had one all-game winner, Shel Magnuson.
Jan. 30 winners: Team Sally upset Team Rod winning eight games out of 12. All- game winners for Team Sally included Harshad Patel, Susan McKaig and Sally Fowler. Team Rod had one all-game winner, Rod Osgood. Team Elizabeth beat Team Jack winning seven games out of 12. Team Elizabeth’s all-game winners were Sue Burkschab and Susan Clark while Team Jack had none.
