Bonnie Schmink won the best costume at 3p and Marilyn Wellons at 5p. As their prizes, Donny presented each winner with a “pot of gold” full of goodies. Players celebrated with snacks and drinks after a fun evening of pickleball.
PARC Update
At the Timber Pines BOD meeting on Wednesday, March 17, a detailed update on the PARC site was provided by Stuart Dienes, the project manager. He reported that the civil engineering firm on the project had been contacted to correct significant errors in their survey and site elevation work. Revised drawings were finally received this week. These errors have caused a delay in the opening of the Courts into early June. See the PARC report in this week’s Friday Flash.
