Leesburg is packing all of our shuffleboard equipment and belongings on Saturday, Nov. 1^stbeginning at 8am.  Any shuffler who would like to help with this process is very welcome.  The city is providing a storage area along with their Christmas decorations.  We just need to move everything there until we determine what will happen in the future.

Thanks to anyone who can help.
