A quick note

Sun City Pickleball Club Posted on by

Good evening everyone,
Just a quick note this evening.
And, as suggested in the last communication, the club was well represented in the final 2 days of the Tommy Wong tournament in Surprise . . . more medal winners . . .
Dianna Colonna/Tony Anfinson – bronze 3.0 60+
Carole Hutchinson/Frank Spina – bronze 3.0 70+
There were 750 registered players in this tournament! Bravo to all who participated!!

We are still working on putting together the Desert Frog/Snowbird Fun Tournament details. We hope to have it all put together very soon. Stay “tuned” and “tune” up those paddles….another close battle is predicted for bragging rights for another year.

For now,
Dave B

A Fun Day at Mountain View

Sun City Pickleball Club Posted on by

Good afternoon to you all,
Yesterday’s Fun Day over at Mountain View was very well attended and it was nice to see so many members joining in for some pickleball play, some socialization, and some snacks. So, thank all of you that helped “ring in the New Year”! A reminder of our next Fun Day which will be at Marinette on Monday January 13 from 4 – 7 pm.
Dave B

Welcome to 2020

Sun City Pickleball Club Posted on by

Good morning Sun City Pickleballers!
Welcome to 2020! We hope you are all in fine shape this first day…especially if you were out celebrating last night!
This quick note is intended to accomplish a few things….one of which is the “test run” of my first attempt at this method of correspondence.
First, let us thank last year’s board for continuing to lead our club as we grow in numbers and activities.
Thank you Dave, Tom, Jan, Marcia, Pat, Kevin and Jeff and Ed. As Dave said in his last note, there were many accomplishments achieved last year with a “few” carrying over to this new year. And with that in mind,
let me reintroduce the 2020 board:
Vice President Tom Jeffers
Treasurer Jan Booth
Secretary Ann Clark
Membership Evelyn Larsen
Publicity Lynda Skaggs
Member at Large Dan Haberman
There will be more info soon regarding upcoming events ….remember to help and volunteer in any event coming up . . . a big reminder to get involved in the upcoming SSIPA tournament here on January 28, 29, and 30. Fun Day today at Mountain View 12 – 4, Fun Day at Marinette on the 13th and our next membership meeting on January 20 at Marinette at 4 pm.
Let’s have a successful 2020!
Dave Breault
(President)

Happy New Year

Sun City Pickleball Club Posted on by

Let me conclude this year’s emails with a Thank You to all for your help during 2019! While that starts with the Officers and Committee Chairs, and especially my very patient wife, it includes everyone and their ideas, thoughts and concerns throughout 2019.

When Ed Millett and I began this adventure a year ago, we had one goal that absolutely had to be reached, and several more things that we hoped to accomplish. You, of course, added to that list. Some of our wishes were fulfilled, our main goal was reached, a few things got eliminated quickly and many of our plans are still “under consideration” awaiting further pursuit by our 2020 Board.

Please extend to these new officers the same consideration given to Ed, Tom, our other officers and me. We are not all going to agree on every issue, nor should we, but everyone’s ideas, thoughts and concerns are important and have been and will be addressed.

Again, Thank You and Happy New Year!
Dave
