Special social events will add fun to entire holiday season
SHUFFLEBOARD CLUB
On Halloween evening the Shuffleboard Club hosted a spooky, special evening with various costumes, delicious potluck food, and a fun variation of traditional shuffleboard called “on the line.”
The second social event of the season will be Monday, Nov. 6, when the club hosts the Laguna Woods Shuffleboard Club with classic shuffleboard competitions.
Wednesday, Nov. 15, at 5 p.m. will be the third special event with the annual “turkey shoot” competition. No guns allowed; obstacles expected. There will be cash prizes for the winners of this unusual tournament.
December culminates the shuffleboard social season as the fall league season draws to a close on Dec. 8 with appropriate accolades. The annual Christmas/holiday party is Dec. 9 and the New Year’s party is Dec. 31.
