As one aspect of the Celebration of 100 Years of Shuffleboard in Florida, Committee Member Ken Offenther selected a Shuffler who made a significant contribution to the sport. The selected individual will be presented an attractive anniversary pin, an MVP (Most Valuable Person) Pin. At the very first State Tournament of the 2012-2013 Season, held in Pt Charlotte on 2012 10 01, Ken Offenther, committee member, made the very first presentation. It was Ken who did the huge and demanding task, who did the research on every one of the 144 Individuals selected by him. Committee member Colleen Austin designed the MVP (see pic at top). Here are Ken’s supporting remarks: 1st MVP by Ken in Pt Charlotte
