Greetings to all of the District 1 shufflers and hope all of you have had a wonderful summer. Summer seemed to have flowned by and many of us will soon be heading back to our wonderful homes in Arizona. I want to encourage all of you to be thinking about all of the tournaments you will want to play in, beginning with the PreWestern which starts October 31st. Following that will be the Western Team Tournament. If you are not on a team and would like to be, please let me know and we’ll put you on a list for those captains still trying to fill their team.

I’m also looking forward to a great year with our league play. If you are not on a league team and would like to play in either the early start or late state league, please let me know. We would like to have more teams this coming season. Playing on a team is great fun, you make new friends with others from other parks and gives everyone a little more competition. We could also use some people to consider volunteering to be the captain of a league team. This is not a real time-consuming position, so please let me know if you have any questions.

The Fall District meeting which we need all league Captains to attend is November 12th, 1:00 pm in the Greenfield Village Ballroom. Please plan to attend to get all the updates for the coming season.

Let’s look forward to a great 2022-2023 season. Please think about how we can promote shuffleboard to increase the numbers of those enjoying our wonderful sport, volunteer and most of all, have FUN!

Ruth Hugen, President
