The third pickleball play event of the year, St. Patrick’s Social, hosted over 50 players during two sessions. Kindness, respect, and fun was obvious on all the courts during this social event.
As with past events there were both new and familiar faces. It was great to see people talking and introducing themselves to one another.
As a bonus we had Kim Mihan, Troon’s Pickleball Pro, join in the fun as she played and offered pickleball tips, to the delight of our players. The round robin format ensured that many players had an opportunity to play with Kim as well as with other players.
Many thanks go to the event coordinators, Andrea Velez, Lynn Albrecht, and Robyn Smith, for the food, decorations, photos, and for joining in to play where needed. Their work and dedication to St. James Pickleball makes these events possible.
We also thank the players who joined in the FUN, and special thanks to those who donated food.
