Please welcome Diane Beaudoin, Gary Carlton and Randy Taylor to the Pickleball Club BOD. The complete list of members and their contact information is attached.
The board would like to thank Marsha, Ed and Jim for their service for the past year. The club is in great shape due to their efforts.
UNSUNG VOLUNTEER
There are many people beyond the BOD who make the Pickleball Club the great organization that it is. One person who was not mentioned in yesterday's meeting was Sue Hunter. Sue is our IT support, who resolves log-in issues with the den, helping members download the pickleball app, and resolving issues with not being able to book courts on the TPPCl section.
Sue has helped members for many years now. She responds at all hours and even if she is on vacation. Sue is amazing with her expertise and patience. A special thanks to her
