What’s happening

Coincidently, I did not play pickleball any this week which is a bummer. Monday is our monthly tournament and social. Very exciting! Do you play pickleball? It seems like everyone has gotten into recently. Pickleball lis the fastest growing sport in the US. Chances are if you haven’t started playing yet, you will soon. It’s so much fun.
