New Florida Shuffleboard Association board installed

Last week’s column lacked the space to mention the installation of officers on Jan. 15, after the Hall of Fame Banquet. Installed were Dave Kudro, president; Bob Hovatter, first vice president; Marti Noble, second vice president; Bob Smith, third vice president; Linda Rebholz, secretary; Jeannie Andrews, treasurer; Glenn Monroe, Florida State Tournament director and keeper of records. Also voting at FSA meetings are district presidents and delegates. Representing the Southwest Coast District are President Jerry Stannard and State Delegate John L. Brown.

This FSA Board will soon release the 2018-19 final version of the schedule, so players may soon make plans for next season. Many issues were covered in the Jan. 27 meeting at Sebring. The 2018 Florida Masters will be held April 2-5 at Hawthorne, near Leesburg. This is a change from your current schedule.

Also, a new FSA Incident Reporting Form was approved and will soon be in the hands of tournament directors. Past complaints have been awkwardly forwarded and debated, so in the future serious problems will be more fairly and discreetly forwarded to proper authority. Examples could be an “injury or altercation” which might harm someone or cause unfair treatment or discouragement. Our hope is to help everybody and to harm none.
