Our Black Friday Pickleball meetup was such a hit that we’re bringing it back! Take a break from the holiday bustle and join us for fun, laughs, and a great workout. Beginners are absolutely welcome — whether you're brand new or just looking to get active, Carolyn (an experienced player) will be there to help you learn the ropes.

What to Bring:

• Pickleball paddle
• Water
• Indoor pickleball balls

No paddle? No pickleballs? No problem! You can rent or buy them on the first floor, and there’s a chance another member may have a spare.
Come ready for laughs, movement, and a great opportunity to meet other members, beginners, and fellow pickleball enthusiasts!

RSVP Responsibly - Events are more fun when our members show up! We understand that life happens, but last-minute cancellations and no-shows make it harder for everyone. If your plans change, please update your RSVP as soon as possible and message the hosts so we can keep the experience enjoyable for all.

Questions? If you need to reach Carolyn, you can message her through Meetup or leave a comment on the event page.
