CALL FOR COOKOUT CHEFS
Pickleball Cookouts are looking for volunteers to be chefs to lead the pot-luck cookouts. Volunteer chefs decide what they would like to prepare for the main dish for the cookout. Suggested entrees can be Hamburger/hot dogs on the grill, pizza, fried chicken, meatballs, tacos, pulled pork, pasta, or one of your favorite recipes.
The social director of the Pickleball Board has many suggested recipes to share with our volunteer chefs. Also, the Pickleball Club has a storage closet at the pavilion filled with supplies, tables, paper plates, utensils, refrigerator, BBQ grill, all available to help you make your entree a success.
We have one cookout per month and anywhere from 25-100 people each month join in at the pavilion for the potluck dinner. People sign up on the den and attendees are asked to bring a covered dish enough to share with 6-8 people. As chef, you will be reimbursed for your expenses to handle the main dish for the cookout. We are looking for volunteer chefs for the upcoming months, please consider volunteering with your cooking talents. There are others who have done it before and would be happy to help you get it cooking.
Dates available: Sept 13, Oct 4, Nov 1, Dec 13, Jan 10, Feb 14,
If you would like to volunteer or have any questions please contact Gary Carlton at gbc1965@yahoo.com

This gives everyone a chance to play with different levels. There will be 6 courts for this event, so there should not be a long wait time between games.
