Shuffleboard Club dons Irish green for potluck
The March all-member meeting of the Shuffleboard Club is today, March 14, at 10 a.m. in Clubhouse 1.
The club will don green garb on Sunday, March 17, and head to Clubhouse 3, Room 1, at 5 p.m. for a St. Paddy’s potluck. The highlight of the dinner will be plenty of corned beef, cooked and generously provided by the host of the event and longtime member Jack O’Brien. Friends who may want to join the club are welcome.
On March 1, a sizable crew of helpers arrived to put the finishing touches on the refurbished courts. Furniture was moved, card tables and fresh tablecloths were set up, bulletin boards and signs were rehung, cupboards were cleaned and reorganized, and playing equipment was moved back in among many other chores. All this hard work guaranteed the building would be completely ready for league play the following week.
March 5 winners: Team Rod advanced over Team Jack winning seven games out of 12. Team Rod all-game winners were Sandy Derouin and Rod Osgood. Team Jack all-game winners were Minda Burkschab and Ellie West. Team Sally held on over Team Chandra winning eight games out of 12. All-game winners for Team Sally included Sally Fowler, Susan McKaig, John Mount and Linda Peters. Team Chandra had one all-game winner, Roger Bennett.
