Candidates, Tickets

Sun City Pickleball Club Posted on December 5, 2019 by Bill BoothDecember 5, 2019

Candidates: If you will be seeking office in tomorrow’s election, and have opposition, you will be given a 2 minute (max!) time slot to tell everyone why you are the best candidate . Those running unopposed will have a chance to introduce themselves while we await the election results.

Tickets: Party ticket sales ended Monday, as announced over 2 weeks ago.  At that time, we needed to give the caterer an accurate count.  A few members have since expressed interest in tickets, and there are always a few people who can’t use their tickets at the last minute. If you fit either description please contact Frank Spina and we will try to pair sellers with buyers.

SPA Tournaments, Tickets Last Call, Cancellations

Sun City Pickleball Club Posted on November 30, 2019 by Bill BoothNovember 30, 2019

Surprise Pickleball Association is looking for line judges for its Tommy Wong and Southwest Regional Championships, which run back to back from  January 3 through 12.  They are paying $5 per match for their “Volunteers”.  If interested, contact Marlene Berwald @ 219-688-3022.

We will be selling no Christmas Party tickets after noon Monday (Dec 2).  I will be at Marinette Monday from about 8:30 til at least 10:00 with tickets.  If you want tickets and that still doesn’t work for you, please contact Frank Spina to make arrangements.  If you have dietary restrictions, please contact Frank, also.

Our last Club Meting of 2019 will be Friday (Dec 6) @1;00 @ Marinette. The Men’s Round Robin has been cancelled, and the Beginner Paddle Up, which is moving to Fridays at 2:00,  has been delayed until 3:00 for this week only.

Special Party Diet, Modified PB, Friday Night

Sun City Pickleball Club Posted on November 26, 2019 by Bill BoothNovember 26, 2019

If you will be attending the Christmas party and have dietary restrictions, please let Frank Spina know ASAP. The buffet will include gluten free salads, but other options are available by request. They are: Gluten Free Pizza, Garlic Cheesy Bread, Regular Wings, Pasta, Rice Krispy and Brownie.

Our Modified PB program is in full swing, meeting on Marinette courts 5&6 at 10AM Tuesdays and 2PM Wednesdays. Play is modified for those with disabilities, whether temporary or permanent, and the whole program is very low key, making it a great choice for those new to the game and a bit intimidated by the early morning crowds.  Please mention this play possibility to your friends who may be a little reluctant to give PB a try. Contact Allen Gilson for more info.

Couples Night/Social Night is also going strong on Fridays at 5 (or so) at Marinette.  Come play for awhile, then have dinner with new and old friends.  This week is apparently going to be cool and damp, so dinner will likely involve going out to a local restaurant. Contact Terry Griffin to let her know if you plan on attending.
