Good afternoon Pickleball Club,
Last night, your committee met. Herein please find the minutes from our meeting:
- Financial report from treasurer Debbie Dove. Ending balance $1384.00 for the year. Budget for 2024 approved.
- Maintenance report from Tom. Vaptr “rug” replaced, and new one purchased. Ball warmer is working well! We will be labeling the ball holders on each court with a reminder to return balls to the ball warmer after play. Vaptr training will be posted and training is mandatory to use the machine to dry courts.
- Calendar for 2024: date for chili cookoff (Jan. 29th noon-2:30), tournaments (Reitman June 15th-16th. Connestee Falls Student Scholarship September 13th-15th)
- New ball machine purchase coming in March! The board decided on the Lobster 2.
- More round robin socials–women’s round robin in November was a success. Next up men’s and mixed, dates to be announced via email.
- Email list is being cleaned up and centralized to create a master list. Old residents being purged, adding people from SignUpGenuis etc.
- Fundraising ideas were discussed including moonlight pickleball (stay tuned!) and a Connestee Falls cookbook.
- We’re in discussion about covering courts or new courts.
We came up with a mission statement for our Pickleball Club:
The Connestee Falls Pickleball Club is dedicated to fostering the expansion and enthusiasm for pickleball through clinics, tournaments, social events and organized play. Our goal is to create a community that not only enjoys the competitive spirit of the game, but also revels in the fun and camaraderie that comes with it.
