ATTENTION
Sun City Pickleball Members
Id like to urge, encourage all of you to attend the RCSC member exchange on Monday January 9th at the Sun Dial. The meeting starts at 9am.
For 2023 there are three new board members sitting on the RCSC Board of Directors. The board also has new people in the leadership positions on the board.
I’d like to communicate and make it clear to this somewhat new board that our club would like to see the Lake View pickleball court project to continue to move forward.
If we want more courts, think we need to be heard and show up in numbers.
Thanks
Dan
Reminders
Hello Sun City Pickleball
Just a few reminders.
Club dues are to be paid by January 15th. At last count only HALF of the club members had paid their dues. After January 15th, board members, those guys and gals with the red and white name tags, will be asking you what’s up if you do not have a blue 23 sticker on your name tag. And of course, asking you where your name tag is if not being worn, Being a member of our club does come with benefits! As a club member you get court privileges, you get to participate in round robins, ladders and lessons. After January 15th, if you do not have a blue sticker, you will not be allowed to participate in these activities.
Still looking for some members to step up and be tournament directors!! Jeff and Lynda Skaggs will no longer be doing this job after the Spring Slam in March. Shadowing and getting instruction from Jeff and Lynda leading up to and during the Slam will be very valuable to anyone interested.
Next membership meeting is on Monday January 16th at the Marinette auditorium starting ay 4 pm.
Discover Sun City event takes place on Wednesday January 18th. There are two sessions: 9 to 11 am and 6 to 8 pm. Our club will have a booth at this event. We hand out club information and also set up a portable net, Have some balls and paddles available. Need volunteers for both sessions.
Tony Anfinson left a blue Selkirk paddle at the Marinette courts this past Saturday. As of yet has not reappeared. If you have found this paddle, Please return to Tony. Might take a peek in your pickleball bag and see if you got an extra paddle in there by mistake.
Snowbirds showing up daily. Welcome back.
As always hope to see you on the courts.

New Year
Hello Club Members!!
CLUB DUES
Just a reminder, Club Dues are due on January 1st, and no later than January 15th. Please complete the membership form even though you’re a returning member. Membership form is online as well as you’re able to pay online. *For our over 80 group, your annual dues are complimentary, but you still need to complete a membership form. All members should have a blue 2023 sticker on their name tag by January 16th. See a board member for the sticker after you’ve paid.
CLUB SHIRTS & HATS
It’s time to order your Club shirts & hats! You can order your items through January 30th, 2023. The group order will be placed on the 31st of January, Shirts will be delivered to your home address within 2 weeks once group order is placed. (Here’s a tip….if there are 2 of you in a household, order all your shirts in one order. That way you’ll only pay one shipping charge. (The shipping charge is a flat $6.95 regardless of the # of shirts you order.). The hats will be delivered in bulk to Lynda Skaggs who will notify everyone by email when to pick up your hat at Marinette.
Below are 2 separate links, one for shirts and one for hats.
These links will also be available on our Club Website:

RECIPROCAL
Next reciprocal is January 22nd.
There were some questions that arose on the lineup. Here’s the protocol: The first 6 in any of the divisions will play. If someone drops out from the first 6, then the 7th signup will play. If someone else drops out then the 8th signup will play and so on. Over the past few months there have been a good number of players who had to withdraw their signup. Changes in schedules are totally understood. It is important that we have all 10 slots filled for just those changes! In a few cases over the past 3 months, I have not had all the 10 slots filled in a particular division and had to scramble for players. If we have all 10 slots filled then I don’t have to run through the roster to find players. In addition, we do our best to accommodate the team partner requests but if one of the team signs up as #5 and the requested partner is #7 then it is quite possible you will be teamed with someone else. The way to avoid this is to sign up early!!!!!
For all you new pickleball players, January 2nd starts a new 5 day Basic Clinic with Shayne Lehman. Please sign up on our Club webpage on the right-hand side, click on “CLINICS”. There are openings available!

I’m sitting here at the Marinette Center today in the pouring rain, looking out on the courts and see several pickleballs getting wet. Please remember to pick up all balls off the courts and empty the ball holders and return them to the coolers.
Happy New Year! Looking forward to seeing you all on the courts!
