Shuffleboard Club Halloween potluck is Saturday

In its usual fashion, the Shuffleboard Club is celebrating major holidays together, and Halloween is no exception. A potluck party gets off the ground at 5:30 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 25, in Clubhouse 1. The room will be ghoulishly decorated, the food should be plentiful, centerpieces will be creative and given away and, most important of all, costumes are encouraged but not required. As event coordinator Sally Fowler said, “If you feel like being a kid again, come in costume.” Fowler will be ably assisted by Arleen Cullison. The club’s favorite game of Left, Right, Center will be played at each table until about 9:30 p.m.

Gatherings like this always underscore what a friendly group the Shuffleboard Club is and how it puts down the welcome mat to both new and more experienced members.

President Karen Mendon announced at the Oct. 9 membership meeting that there were two new members and with three leagues and practices, 244 participants used the court facilities in the month of September.

Oct. 7 Tuesday evening results: Team Sally beat Team Sue 8-4. Team Bob and Team Karen had even 6-6 scores. All-game winners were Arleen Cullison, Sandy Derouin, Devon James, Linda Peters, Bob Peterson and Ellie West.
