Upcoming Shuffleboard Club milestones and events
An important upcoming Shuffleboard Club event is the Thursday, June 6 membership meeting at 10 a.m. in Clubhouse 1, where there will be an opportunity to honor Kay and John Mount for their unbelievable contributions to the club over the past two years. All club members, past and present, are urged to attend this all-member business meeting to pay tribute to their tireless guidance and dedication. In addition, new officers will be reporting on their plans for the coming year.
The annual Joan LaCascia Memorial Tournament, a tradition in the Shuffleboard Club held every June, will take place mid month. Sign up sheets to play in the tournament are available now in the Courts Building.
The club’s new mini-league series ended May 29 after three weeks of intensive learning, practicing, coaching, applying new skills, making new friends and having fun. Everyone involved declared it was a resounding success. There were 25 players in total, alternating with their competitors and 1012 veteran players helping out for each of the three weeks. This arrangement fostered an immediate and ongoing relationship between the new members and the veteran players that is hoped will continue. Sue Burkschab, mastermind behind the minileague series, demonstrated leadership, knowledge of the sport and patience. She had clear objectives for her training approaches which included instilling safety, strategy, etiquette and rules of the game.
