You Are Invited
to Celebrate the
10th Anniversary of the
QC Pickleball Courts!
January 20, 2024
from 1 – 3 PM
Come celebrate this milestone event with your Pickleball friends. All current
members are invited to attend along with past members who were here when
our courts opened.
Our afternoon will include games with prizes, music by Bill Foraker, 50/50 raffle (6
tickets for $5 and 12 tickets for $10), a walk down memory lane, our history,
introduction of our past presidents and progress on our new courts. The Club will
provide the beverages (wine, beer & sodas) and dessert. We will ask several
attendees to bring an appetizer to share. There will be a balloon arch for picture-
taking.
Please bring your own chairs and even a card table that you will be able to set up
on Court #2. Remember that chairs and tables must be covered with rubber – no
metal on the courts.
Remember to wear your 10th Anniversary t-shirt or sweatshirt.
Your QCPC Board and Committee Chairs hope to have a great turnout so please
put this date on your calendar and remember to sign up starting on January 10.

QCPC President
Open Play Participation
In anticipation of the new courts opening, the club would like to get a better understanding of Open Play participation. Due to the ‘dropin’ nature of this event, we will be having a manual ‘sign in’ for one week. There will be a spiral notebook down at the Open Play courts from January 7th to January 13th, please take a minute to sign in/out. Susie Eckhardt has graciously offered to assist in this process.
Questions should be directed to Madelyn Witt at scheduledplayqcpc@gmail.com. Thank you in advance for your assistance.
