Cookout
The next cookout is Saturday, September 2nd. Chef Karen Toof will be making her famous Pulled Pork Sandwiches! Join in the fun and enjoy meeting new friends along the way. $5 per person, and please bring a side dish to share that serves 6-8 people. You can sign-up on the Den by Thursday, Aug 31. And please list the side dish you plan to bring in the comment section. That way, we avoid many duplications. We also need some volunteer helpers. Please contact Karen a if you can help.
Help Wanted
We are again working with some Special Olympics Athletes, providing coaching, training and support. Every Tuesday in August through October, from 5-7pm, WE NEED VOLUNTEERS on Courts 3 and 4. All levels of Pickleball experience are welcome. Please consider helping. Contact Tom Asbel if you are interested in volunteering to work with our Hernando Special Olympic Athletes, or simply show up at the Courts Tuesday and we will go from there. Thank you.
Future Events
Attention members. We are looking for pickleball event/tournament ideas either for daily, weekly or monthly happenings for the fall/winter schedule. If anyone has a specific game, format, event or service that they would like to have implemented please submit your ideas to tppickleballclub@gmail.com, or put a note in the mail slot, or talk to a BOD member. It would also be great to have members volunteer and participate in a tournament/scheduling committee to assist in booking and running events. We always welcome volunteers to learn the ropes and the groundwork for putting on events. It is daunting but oh, so rewarding.
Reminders
Be responsible for your courts … by picking up loose debris, returning all balls to their tubes, turning off the fans, DO NOT mess with the lights controls, sign-up every time you play, introduce yourself, have fun, and HYDRATE.
