Shuffleboard reopening a grand success

The Shuffleboard Club hosted the grand reopening of the shuffleboard courts on Aug. 3, with 47 people attending the festivities. The courts were decorated with balloons. There were photos of club members, a plaque honoring recently deceased 20-year member Red Ryals, a celebration cake, and approximately 34 members who wore their red shuffleboard shirts, which made an impressive statement of commitment. GRF directors and executives were honored for their support in getting the restoration off the ground and completed.

There were table decorations throughout the building highlighting that the club will celebrate its 60 year anniversary on Aug. 15. The club is planning additional events for its 60th anniversary including shuffleboard training clinics on Wednesday, Aug. 16, and Saturday, Aug. 19, from 9-11 both mornings. In addition, there will be a summer cook-out on Wednesday, Aug. 23. Those interested in learning about shuffleboard are invited to attend.
