On Mar 3rd, we held our first ever Fiesta Grande Pickleball Happy Hour with great success!! Over 60 members turned out to enjoy the sunshine, drinks and companionship outside La Casa, and talked about.......you guessed it!!

We would like to thank all members who did attend, and for those who didn't....we invite them to join us next time as we plan on having them more next season. 
We would also like to give a great big Thank You to Tony Callandrillo who has tirelessly helped us with  everything including Skill Level Ratings, helping our players in clinics, helping us set up the programs we have now and will have next season, and for the two Pickleball bags he donated to our group as door prizes. 


A special Thank you to our own in-house pickle ball junkie, Eric Sandstrom, who gave so much of his time to introduce all of our Beginners to their newest addiction.

And where would we be without the support of our park Manager and biggest fan, Beth Kortsen, who was kind enough to attend the event and is forever looking after our best interests. And Thank you Annette for all you have done for the cause (also for the yummy cheese plate!!!)
Winners of the Pickleball bags were Bob Holpen...........

and Wanda Lawson, who doubles as our Beginners Round Robin captain, and Pickleball's finest Diplomat!
AND SAVING THE BEST FOR LAST, THANK YOU ENCORE, FOR YOUR FORESIGHT, AND GIVING US SOOOOO MUCH FUN THIS YEAR. 

Thanks to our Pickleball Members, for all your support and good times, and may the good times keep on rollin'........

Les and Nikki Franke
