Welcome to those members who have just returned in the last week. Hope you all had a lovely Thanksgiving with lots of good food enjoyed with family and friends. A belated Happy Thanksgiving to our Canadian colleagues.
It’s hard to believe that December is coming up this week which means a few pickleball Dec. schedule changes.
Reminder: Please park golf carts in the more than 20 spaces on the far side of the Pavilion next to the construction site. Parking for cars is a priority in the blacktop area spaces.
