Here are a few items of interest.

1. The email address for Bob Barczak was wrong this morning.  Please  see the correct one below.
2. We will be holding a Line Judge Clinic on Tuesday October 23rd at 2 PM in the pickleball pavilion.  The Surprise Pickleball Club is hosting 6 tournaments in the next 6 months and have asked for our help.  The idea is to have line judge teams for each gold medal match.  Line judges will be paid $3 for each match.  The first tournament is the Monster Smash on October 26 – 29.    Please sign up for this clinic and learn how to be a proficient line judge.  Contact Bob Barczak at cany0n-b0b@cox.net to confirm your attendance or for any questions.  The clinic will consist of an overview of the line judge duties in the pavilion and on court 21.  Please bring your paddles to play as each of the line judge teams practice.
3. Registration forms for Dink A Dilly II and A Soldiers Best Friend are now in each of  the breezeways.  Linda Durkee did a great job on fixing these boards up.

In the summer of 2013, many club members participated in a survey regarding the reasons that they play pickleball and the benefits that they receive. Michael Hess has sent his report of the survey results in this PDF file. Mike and I thank those that participated and hope that they find the results interesting and useful for promoting the sport.

1.    Mixer Monitor Binder is Missing
The Mixer Monitor Binder is missing from the monitor’s chest at the courts.  Please check your packs and belongings to see if you accidently took it home.  If you have it, please return ASAP.  Mixer monitors should use the morning drop-in sign-in sheets and cross out that information and write the name of the mixer at the top of the sheet until the binder is returned or replaced.

2.    Monitors Needed
Monitors are urgently needed for the remaining days in August and every day in September.  Drop-in will be cancelled if we do not have monitors.

Now is the time to sign up and fulfill your monitor requirement in 2013.  Those that do not complete their monitor requirement will be unable to play in club events in 2014.

Every member must monitor in 2013.  There are no exceptions.

3.    The Lost and Found box at the courts is full.  Please check the box for items you may have left on the courts.  The box is located under the large counter top, on the right side, in the Pavilion.
