Racquets Up

“No Foolin” Potluck Dinner at the Beach House

The Port Royal racquet players gathered at the Beach House on April 1 to meet, eat, and enjoy each other’s company. Approximately thirty-five members attended. The food – a BBQ themed meal prepared and shared by all- was delicious. All the diners contributed to the feast which included pulled pork with sides and desserts fit for royalty. Thank you, Dale, for attending and contributing to this occasion.

We chose this occasion to “honor” Mickey Giglio with an “award” as our “Sir Royal” for his long-standing membership and enthusiastic support of our club’s activities for many years! This includes participation in USTA play, support of club activities, support of charitable events, and support of fellow members in many ways. Thank you, Mickey! We also used the occasion to explore some ideas about the future direction of our racquet activities. The idea of tipsy tennis/pickleball was embraced by many of our members; therefore, we will plan to organize some Friday evening casual play followed by snacks and drinks. Watch your email for details soon. This proved to be both a pleasant and positive evening for food and fellowship, and I think we will look forward to more similar events. Thanks to all who joined in.
