COMMENTS FROM THE PRESIDENT

DECEMBER 2012

 

This year’s Nominating/Election Committee will be chaired by Boyd Stonerock along with Paul Dumas and Howard Hawes as members of this committee. Dell Woollard will not seek re-election as 3rd VP. Anyone interested in filling this position should contact one of the committee members. You can reach Boyd at 727-524-8649, Paul at 941-896-6985, or Howard at 386-437-2091.

 

We are still looking for a Promotion Chairman that was vacated by Jim Smith several years ago. Bob Lemon 1st VP will assume this responsibility on an interim basis. We have over 300 members and I am sure that there is someone out there that would be willing to step up and help their association. Standing on the sidelines does not make our association stronger, participation does. Get involved!

 

This year’s Club Team Tournament will be held in Melbourne. The rules are published else where in the newsletter. Two changes that you should be aware of are; Vicki Marteney will be the Tournament Director and 40 shoe games instead of 50. Holiday Inn Express 4510 West New Haven Ave. Melbourne, FL is the motel of choice. Room rate is $83.25 tax included. For reservations call 321-724-2050 and mention that you are with the State Horseshoe Pitching Assoc. It is not too early to start thinking about fielding your team (or team’s) which needs to be submitted to Vicki by Wednesday January 23, 2013.

 

CPR certification has been completed by 5 clubs with the remaining clubs (four clubs are exempt) in the process of completing certification. Thanks to all the clubs for their cooperation on this most important project. 

 

The tournament season is in full swing and I hope to see you soon at the courts. Next EC meeting will be held at the Holiday Inn Express 1PM Friday January 25, 2013.

 

In closing I wish all of you a Merry Christmas for you and your family and a prosperous and healthy 2013.

 

Bob Hilpertshauser, President FSHPA Inc.
