Due to the second day of the Masters Tournament being cancelled by rain, we had everyone arrive at 11:00 AM for our Awards Banquet. Janet Shira and her team of Volunteers (Arlene Jabaut, Pat Llodra, Jan and Bill Sweet, Tom Grubb and Mark Gephart) did a fantastic job setting up all the tables and decorating the room. Stan Williamson hired DJ/MC Music/Cruisin Central Florida to entertain us with background music. Cindy did a great job with the summary board showing all of the shuffler’s scores in the tournament. The Awards table was set up with the four Master’s Trophies and the Tournament of Champions (TOC) Frank Wilson Special Award Plaques for the winner of the Amateur Ladies and Amateur Men’s division. Colt’s Pig Stand catered our event with barbeque pork, chicken, mac and cheese along with coleslaw and rolls. Fantastic deserts (so yummy) were supplied by our members. Tim Pergrem set up a TV with a slide show of shuffler events and winners. Photos were supplied by Randy Radke.

After everyone had a great meal with seconds, Joan Sanford (past President) called us to order and introduced our newly elected President, Janet Shira. Christine Giumarra gave the invocation. Joe Inga introduced the Northern District Board of Directors and the members of the Coronado/Mainland Club officers were introduced.

Joe began presenting the pins to each of the appropriate groups that had worked so hard to earn them. 12 Amateurs moved up to State Amateur and 9 State Amateurs moved up to Pro. He also presented each group of players from the Masters Tournament with their Masters Pins. Bonnie Radke presented the pins and awards for winners of the Tournament of Champions. The Frank Wilson Special Awards were given to the Men’s winning Amateur (Darryl Kenyon) and Ladies winning Amateur (Barb Allen). Pins for the winning Pro Ladies Division (Gail Howell) and Pro Men’s Division (John Giumarra) were also given out.

Next came our Hall of Fame (HOF) inductees. They had to earn a total of 200 points over their total tournament shuffleboard experience to be inducted. They were each presented with the HOF pins and a beautiful Red HOF Jacket.

Finally the Winners of each Master’s Division were presented with their trophies.
Katy Walker presented the Marion Lohbusch Amateur Ladies trophy to Marilyn VanLare.
Stan Williamson presented his Amateur Men’s trophy to Bob Augusto.
Christine Giumarra presented the Edna Triplett Pro Ladies trophy to Carol Helfer, Katy Walker and Christine Inga who all tied for the trophy.
Al Dronsfield presented his Pro Men’s trophy to Kyle Walker.

People were having their pictures taken with goofy shuffleboard expression props. Then our Master of Ceremonies and Club Crooner, Stan Williamson, took over the microphone and presented memento trophies to Bob Tager and Zak Wonson as well as a photo of an actual compilation representing 65 total points in one frame. He also entertained us and serenaded Gail Howell with songs from Tom Jones and “The Soul Train”. Everyone had a great time. Thanks to all who made it possible.

Well the end of the 2023-2024 Shuffleboard Season came to an end at the Coronado/Mainland Shuffleboard courts on March 21, 2024. The Masters Tournament features the top 8 Pro Men, Pro Ladies, Amateur Men and Amateur Ladies in a competition to see who is #One for the season. Zak Wonson was our director with the help of Tom Brown and Phil Wade. Cindy Wonson did a wonderful job with the charts and the cards so that the tournament was flawless. The New Smyrna Beach Mayor Fred Cleveland came to open the ceremonies along with our Zone 2 Commissioner Lisa Martin and Rob Salazar the Leisure Services Director. Christine Giumarra gave the blessing and Zak gave us the rules. Randy Radke was our photographer. We would like to thank all the many volunteers who made this tournament possible. All of the pushers did a fantastic job keeping the discs rolling and the support volunteers kept the courts beaded and the discs waxed. I can’t say enough about our Court Manager, Mike Beall. Everything was so well maintained. The only problem was the weather. Thanks to all our sponsors who have supported our club throughout the season.

The Coronado Mainland Shuffleboard Club hosted the ND23 Pro Only/Amateur Only Tournament on Feb 29/March 1, 2024. We had Volunteers to come on Tuesday to clean and wax the courts, and volunteers that came Thursday morning early to clean. Mike Beall our court manager lead the cleaning and set up for both days with the help of many, Zak and Cindy Wonson, Joan Sanford our President was ever present, Jerry and Arlene Jabaut, Marilyn and Bill VanLare, Dennis, Leslie, Joyce, Phil and many more. Without our volunteers we could not function. Thanks to all and those I may have forgotten.

The Sponsors for our tournament were Complete Health, Davis Bros HVAC, G&W Roofing, Highpoint Capital, NBS Homes, NSB Physical Therapy, Springhill Suites, State Farm Ins., Stellar Foot & Ankle, Town&Country Cooling, Kevin Para, Arlene & Jerry Jabaut, Gail Kadar, The Tivy Family and Cindy & Zak Wonson. Our director was Bonnie Radke. The weather was nice until 3 pm on Thursday when we were forced to quit early. More rain all night so our many volunteers showed up early to dry everything up. We almost made it to the end when during the finals, we were forced to wait out the rain and dry off the courts again. Thank you to all our volunteers who worked so hard to make this one happen. Congratulations to all our shufflers. It has been a great season.
