On behalf of the International Shuffleboard Association  and myself, I would like thank the Mayor of Dieppe,            Jean LeBlanc for the exceptional support that he and his wonderful City of Dieppe provided to us during our international championship in August. Through the various letters of praise that I have been receiving from participants all over the world, it is quite obvious that this was the finest International Shuffleboard Event held to date. Special thanks also goes out to his Deputy Mayor, Paul LeBlanc and the super team of professionals from Dieppe City Hall, who gave their all and truly went out of their way to insure that this event went off as smoothly as possible. The tireless efforts performed by Jason Nadeau, Pauline Cormier, Natalie and Phillip never went unnoticed and was truly appreciated by myself, our Board of Directors and the participants from eight visiting nations. The dedication and support provided by them reflect great credit upon themselves and the City Of Dieppe. And best of all, the memories and friendships established during this week together will be carried home to many corners of the globe and the City of Dieppe, New Brunswick, Canada will forever have a special place in our hearts.

Equally important was the superb job that was done by NBSC President Don Breau and his lovely wife Bernie. They ran non-stop for 6 straight days and nights. The super team of volunteers from the NBSC club were top notch and all performed above distinction.

Finally Glenn Monroe, tournament director once again held it all together and provided a championship fit for professionals.  

Truly a job well done by all 3 groups.

Sincerely,
   
Michael Robert Zellner, President
International Shuffleboard Association
