PickleBall Fix: September 17, 2021
Pickleball hours on the PARC courts have officially been extended daily from 6:30am to 10pm. Lights come on automatically at 6:15am and shut down at 10:15pm. Watch for a total of six (6) fans to be installed soon under the shade areas. One is in the first shade area already and puts out a great breeze!
COOKOUTS
Fifty-seven (57) members turned out for this week’s Cookout for a big treat of fried chicken and many side dishes, including green and pasta salads, and a number of tasty non-fattening (!) desserts. Joe Studley and Mike Fries won the pickleball raffle Sling Bags. Mike’s wife Linda was thrilled as she had the Bag on her Christmas list!
Guest chefs Carol Bowe and Melanie Havekes are making Spaghetti Bolognese for this Saturday’s cookout. Bring your side dishes, come on out and enjoy a delicious dinner, have fun with your pickleball friends, and you may even win a raffle prize!

PAVILION RENTAL
At the TPPC BOD meeting, the BOD voted to rent the Pavilion on every Saturday night for 26 weeks excluding holidays at $50/week starting in October through mid-March (Oct 16-Mar 15). It was noted that any cancellation or unavailable date would be added to the end of the reservation period. The Pavilion is now rented from TP for our Saturday night cookouts.
PICKLEBALL LADIES CLUB MED EXCURSION
Last chance to join Pickleball Ladies on the Club Med excursion to Port St. Lucie from January 31 to February 4. The PB clinic is full, but all the Club Med amenities are available to any female Club member who would like a 5- day vacation. Hotel rooms available would be 2 double beds for two ladies. An information sheet is available in the PARC Bulletin Board holders. Contact Barb Lacek for reservations at bltennis13@gmail.com or call 215-353-7216.
REMINDER
When you are at the courts, please remember the following:
--Pick up balls on the courts when you are finished playing and put them in the ball holders on each set of courts. Balls last longer that do not lie out in the sun. Some members have been diligent in picking up balls left on the courts at the end of a day. Thanks for your help.
Play safe and be careful. See you at the Saturday night cookout! PLEASE BRING CORRECT CHANGE!
