Meeting Updates/Reminders

Sun City Pickleball Club Posted on by

Good afternoon Sun City Pickleball Club Members this Saturday afternoon,

It seems, from the many inquiries on the Marinette courts lately, that there is a need for clarification about the meetings this September brings forth!

First:
Five members of the Sun City Pickleball Club Board – Tom Jeffers, Jan Booth, Evelyn Larsen, Lynda Skaggs and Dave Breault – met with the RCSC Board and Administration last Tuesday, September 7. There were approximately 15 people in attendance. The RCSC Board had asked us to meet with them to begin conversations/discussions about the need for more pickleball courts considering what will happen at Mountain View with those proposed renovations. The meeting was a positive beginning of the need of finding the solution for more, additional pickleball courts in Sun City . . . hopefully, of course, in the Mountain View area, but, definitely desired south of Grand Ave. This was the first of many meetings, for sure, as this need is addressed and solved . . . they must build more pickleball courts!!! As these meetings/discussions continue Club Members will be informed of any progress or solution. This was, as stated, a POSITIVE step!

Second:
The RCSC Board meeting is scheduled for next Monday, September 13 – 9 a.m. in the Sun Dial Auditorium. Their agenda has been posted . . . there are several items on this agenda that will be addressed by concerned Sun City residents. The Mountain View renovation is not listed in the agenda . . . the meeting(s) between the RCSC and our Club Board about future, additional pickleball courts will continue, at this point, outside of this meeting.

Third:
Our Pickleball Club Membership Meeting is scheduled, also, on September 13 – 3 p.m. in the Marinette Auditorium. Please plan to attend! The agenda for this meeting can be found on our Club Website suncitypickleballclub.org

Clarification . . . positive steps . . .

For now,
Dave B

A Look Into The Fall Calendar Of Events/Activities

Sun City Pickleball Club Posted on by

Update not in club email: Monday, December 6, GENERAL MEMBERSHIP MEETING, 4 pm – Marinette Auditorium. The annual meeting which includes election of the 2022 Club Executive Board.

Good afternoon Sun City Pickleball Club Members,

And we have made it to July – no doubt the heat is here – observations would be that Club Members are: playing earlier in the day, hydrating like crazy, seeking shade, and playing within personal limits. There even has been a “mister” available from time to time . . . thanks, Lynda/Jeff!
The pavilion is getting more and more use each day!

A fact – it is good to have a calendar of Club activities/events . . . we missed this for well over a year! So, here is a first glance – much more will come out as time goes on:

The first date is an added date:

September 13, Monday, 3 pm – GENERAL MEMBERSHIP MEETING – at the Marinette Auditorium.
A full agenda will be sent out prior to that meeting – we asked for this extra meeting time since we haven’t been able to have a full membership meeting since Jan, 2020. Lots to prepare for, too, as we approach our Round Up Tournament October 19, 20, 21.

October 19, 20, 21 – Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday – our FALL ROUND UP TOURNAMENT – The registration for the Round Up begin on July 27 – complete information will be available on pickleballtournaments.com.

October 25, Monday, 4 pm – GENERAL MEMBERSHIP MEETING – Marinette Auditorium. This is the regular scheduled meeting and will take place as usual – more on that agenda in time.

October 26, Tuesday, 4 pm – FUN DAY – Mountain View Courts

November 8, Monday, 3 pm – RED WHITE BLUE CLUB TOURNAMENT – Marinette Courts

Saturday, November 13, Noon – VOLUNTEER LUNCHEON – Bell Center Auditorium

Wednesday, December 8, 5 pm – CLUB CHRISTMAS PARTY – Sun Dial Auditorium (with Street Player).

Monday, January 17 (2022), 4 pm – GENERAL MEMBERSHIP MEETING – Marinette Auditorium.

First glance at our Club Calendar – details and information in much more depth will be headed your way later!

This calendar is not totally complete, of course, as there will be more times/dates added as in reciprocals, lessons, clinics, ladders, round robins, etc. All that information will be available as we get a little closer to their starting dates.

Please remember to ALWAYS SIGN IN ELECTRONICALLY – we want to record every time any person comes in to play pickleball.

Remember – this heat wears out (and softens) the pickleballs too – so – please pick them up when you are done playing and put them in a cooler. At Marinette, the coolers should be kept in the pavilion. Thank you – as stated before – the pickleballs thank you!

For now,
Dave B
