New member mini-league begins on May 15
SHUFFLEBOARD CLUB
Success with the ongoing “Learn to Play Shuffleboard” clinics and evening open play events has prompted the Shuffleboard Club to initiate a first-ever mini-league starting May 15.
Twelve new and prospective members will play three weeks of friendly, fun team competition. Teams will be assigned, and a schedule of games will be available at the first evening of play.
The league is for people just learning the process of playing shuffleboard and who have attended at least two practice events. League Capt. Sue Burkschab will alert interested players no later than Saturday, May 11, with league guidelines and schedule.
The next all-member general meeting is on Thursday, May 9, at 10 a.m. in Clubhouse 1. Members will elect new officers for the 2024-25 club year, in addition to discussing current projects. All members are urged to attend. Patty Peterson, membership coordinator, will collect dues for the coming year.
