BETMAR GIVING TREE
At Betmar, we’re more than neighbors — we’re a community that cares for one another.
This Thanksgiving, you can make someone’s holiday a little brighter. Each leaf purchased provides a Thanksgiving dinner for a fellow Betmarian in need. Every leaf is added to our Giving Tree, creating a beautiful display of our community’s generosity and showing how many meals have been donated.
Recipients can enjoy a wonderful Thanksgiving meal with friends and neighbors at the clubhouse, or have a dinner delivered if they are unable to leave their home.
Leaves are available now! Contact Terri Williams at 269-501-4752.
Last chance to purchase: Tuesday, November 17th, at Coffee Hour.
Happy Thanksgiving!

SHUFFLE
Welcome back snowbirds!
A big thank you to Lorraine Merrifield and Janet Send for running the summer shuffle events that consisted of single mingles and hoss collar.
This is your friendly reminder to pay your dues which are due Oct. 1st. Membership is $25.00 for the membership year from Oct. 1st 2026 to Sept. 30th 2027. You can find the membership forms outside the shuffleboard office. And don’t forget to pick up the processed membership cards; they are placed in the box next to the office door.
Mark your calendars for our next meeting on Wednesday morning, November 11th, at the shuffleboard courts. The board meets at 9:00. and the general meeting is at 10:00. It is important that members attend so we can have a quorum in the event where there is something that must be voted on.
Turkey Shoot will start up on Tuesday November 3rd and will be held from 8:30 to 10:30 every Tuesday morning. Going to Coffee Hour; that’s okay as there is always time to play prior to or after Coffee Hour.
Friday night Hoss Collar will start Friday, November 6th. Play starts at 6:30 p.m.
Scheduled December tournaments are as follows:
December 14-16 – a State M/L Doubles; December 17-18 – a central district Any Doubles No 2 Pro. And Dec 18-19 – an All-Amateur Draw Doubles. With these games we will need volunteers to wax disks, clean the courts, and mop the kitchen floor. We will also need bakers to make all those delicious cakes, brownies, and pies for the shuffle lunches. Everyone is welcome to come to the shuffle lunches. Lunch is served from 11:00 to 12:30 each day of the tournament.
We have some friendly competitions called Round Robin on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays at 1:00. There is Hoss Collar on Wednesday night at 6:30 and again on Friday night at 6:30. On Friday night there is a $1 fee to play; the players with the highest scores win back $2 each. We always have a good crowd at Hoss Collar, a fun game that helps you perfect your shooting skills. Come join in on the shuffle fun! It is a great way to make new friends and get a little exercise.
