I would like to thank everyone that showed up for our annual banquet. We had a great turnout, and it appeared everyone had a great time. Special thanks to Lorraine Yaghoobian and her team for doing a great job setting up the event. Also, thanks to Mary Taylor for some great appetizers and desserts.

We have three fun filled events in February. On the 4th will be our Pizza Party, which is always a lot of social play and of course pizza.
 
February 14th will be our Valentine’s Day Fun Fest doubles tournament. This will start at 11am, after social play. There will be three divisions. Advanced, intermediate and fun. Please send your partner’s names and division to: Rich at [email protected] by Feb 11. If you would like to bring something to pass around, that would be great.
 
On February 21, we will have our monthly luncheon. This month we will include a chili cookoff with the luncheon, so get your secret recipes together and bring on the chili.
 
Remember there’s always a lot of information on the club’s website: sccflpickleball.club.
 
Everyone keep on pickling,

On behalf of the 2026 Pickleball Board we wish everyone a happy, healthy, and blessed New Year! We have planned many exciting events for the new year. Please, if you have an event that you would like to chair, just let us know and we will add it to the schedule. 

A very important date JANUARY 16th is the last day to sign up for the Holiday Party. For only $20 members and $25 for non-members, you get a buffet, dancing with music from a great DJ, and great socializing. The 16th is also the deadline for the Winter Classic Tournament. These tournaments are always a lot of fun.

It has been brought to the Board’s attention, that there is a much larger number of competitive players in our club, therefore the board has decided to add one more competition court. This means that courts 7 and 8 will be challenge courts. Anyone can play on these courts, with the understanding that the play is very competitive. If the courts are vacant, any level can play on them.

The Tennis Association is having a fundraiser for the SCC Emergency Squad. This will be a fun-filled train ride on Friday, February 13th. Please contact Diane Keyes @ 407-366-7799 for this fun filled train ride and dinner.

I would like to thank last year’s outgoing board members: Greg Eisman, Peter Cabral, John Dresser, and Mary Taylor, for all the time and work they put in to make the club run smoothly last year. 

Please remember that if you have not paid your dues yet, that after 1/1/2026 the dues are $30
