The Pickleball Club annual dinner dance on Feb. 9 features the band AbSOULute.  Between this fabulous band, yummy Italian buffet, and GRF bar, it’s going to be a great night.  This is open to Pickleball Club members and one guest.  Members: $20 and Guests: $25.  Clubhouse 5 at 5:30pm. Buy your tickets online:  www.lagunawoodspickleball.com.

Our club is run by volunteers; there is no paid staff.  So that for every event that goes on, it means that the volunteers are giving their time to make things happen.  Yes, there can be glitches, but be kind, and work with us to try to fix them.  There is never a need for name calling or unkind emails.

Please note, if there is an empty court available, but the flag is up, it probably means that someone forgot to put the flag down.  Last week, there was an empty court 5, the flag was up, and a group was waiting for my team to finish on court two.  Although we told them that court 5 was open, they insisted on using our court, they said: “We’ve already played on that court, we want this court.”  As totally annoying as that was, rather than really be hassled, we picked up our stuff, and went over to open court 5 – all we wanted was to play a game of pickleball not have a fight.  But you can imagine what was going on in our minds as we played that last game.

Trust me, kindness matters
