80 degrees today. Yahoo!

The Desert Frogs vs Snowbirds was a great club event. Lots of fun and laughter and just a little competitive juice thrown in. A huge thanks to Marcia Gregory for being the tournament director. Marcia also had some great helpers. Thanks to Winston, Shirley, Ros, Jane and Jeff. The Snowbirds “won” the event, but getting our club together was the important thing.

Thanks to Deb Lantzy and her helpers for setting up and organizing the food for the Farewell Dinner. Again, a fun time was had by one and all.

Thanks to Evelyn Larson for organizing a round robin at the Mountain View to accommodate our club members who were not able to get signed up for the Frogs vs Snowbirds.

Ilja Gregor would like to thank all who donated paddles to his son’s PE class. Ilja was able to send off 30 paddles to his son due to your generosity

I got an interesting email from an Ernesto Velazquez a founder and tournament director of a pickleball club and tournament in Spain. He is having two PB tournaments in Spain, One in June and one July. He is to be sending me more information about promotional packs to go to Spain for these events. If you want to go to Spain to play some PB let me know and I’ll pass on info as I get it.

With the warmer weather approaching, please if you are the last players on the courts at the Marinette or Mt. View pick up the balls and put them into a cooler. Thanks.

Membership meeting on Tuesday, March 15th, at 5 pm at Mt. View auditorium.

All for now, I’m sure someone will remind me tomorrow of something I left out of the email.

See you all on Tuesday,
Dan H.

Good Afternoon

As we leave the Holiday behind and move into the new year our club is really starting to get busy. Many of the snowbirds have returned in the past week including many of our Canadian friends who missed last year because of covid. So nice to see all the friendly faces on the courts

Just a reminder that your club renewal form and $15 payment need to be submitted by January 15th.

We should be seeing red 22 stickers on all name badges by the 16th or shortly after.

Now, speaking of submitting your renewal form. By signing, submitting and paying your club dues you are basically signing a contract.
