The club has many events coming up in the next few months. One of the important events is the yearly membership meeting on November 17th. It is very important that we have a quorum for this meeting. If for some reason you can’t make it, please pick up a proxy form at the courts, fill it out and give it to a member.

We will be electing seven new board members at the meeting. As of now, we only have six people that are running. As I talked to members, I hear a lot of good suggestions. With 400 plus members, I’m sure there is a lot more good suggestions that would benefit the club. Please think about running for the board and bringing your suggestions to move the club in a positive direction.

Also at the meeting, we will be taking CHECKS ONLY for membership and banquet.

Upcoming Events:

November 8 and 9  Pickleball tournament

November 14  Thanksgiving social dinner

November 17  Annual meeting

December 9   Ladies’ night (Jingle all the way)

2026

January 24 and 25  Pickleball  tournament (Winter classic)

January 30^th  Winter banquet

You can follow these events on Team Reach.

Besides, being on the board, another great way to help out with a club and learn about the operations is volunteer to help with an event. All the above events can use volunteers.

We have a very large fundraiser, Fun Fest, coming up on March 14. In the past Len Lewinski has chaired this with help from Dennis Rosett.  They have done a profoundly great job. Len has decided to have someone else enjoy all the excitement of this event. This is a great moneymaker for the club which takes a considerable amount of planning. It would be nice to find somebody to chair this as soon as possible. I am willing to do the cooking as I have in the past.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me or any board member. Also, thanks to Webmaster Trudy Donnelly; our website has a lot of information:  sccflpickleball.club.

PICKLE OUT,

John Orton
