“The DeLand Shuffleboard Club is deeply saddened to announce the passing of Dee Metz, a former club member and Hall of Famer. Dee and her husband, Bob, were active members admired for their hard work and dedication to the club and the game. Originally from West Virginia, they lived in DeBary, Florida. Dee was inducted into the Northern District Hall of Fame in 2020.

Our heartfelt condolences go to Bob Metz and their family. No further information is available at this time.”

Sharon Wilde has resigned from her position as secretary of the Northern District Shuffleboard Association.  Her decision was based on scheduling conflicts and personal reasons.  We thank her for her time on the Board.

We are now seeking anyone interested in filling the secretary role within the association for the balance of her term (March 2027).  Since our next meeting is not scheduled until October 2026, we have ample time for a smooth transition.

If you or know anyone who might be interested in the position or have any questions, please reach out to me directly.
