Raffles galore at April 6 shuffleboard open house

SHUFFLEBOARD CLUB

As one of the oldest clubs in Leisure World, the Shuffleboard Club is excited to show off its quality courts and freshly painted building on April 6 as part of the The Great Leisure World Discovery Tour.

There will be greeters at two separate entrances and everyone who comes will be given a raffle ticket. A new raffle will begin every 30 minutes so there will be lots of prizes handed out to visitors. The prizes are lovely stepping stones for a garden or pathway.

The courts will be roped off so visitors can observe a live game in progress and ask questions about shuffleboard. One of the organizers for the event, Karen Mendon, exclaimed, “People are going to be really surprised at the quality of our courts and that we offer both open play and league play as well as fun social gatherings.” She was ably assisted in the planning process by President Kay Mount and Zoe Pickell. People interested in joining will be asked to fill out a form.
