Member Meeting. A committee is working on
a plan for this.

and has submitted a bill for that. The
Board agreed to pay $.05/page for printing from a personal printer. This will be filed under Office Supplies with
a sub-category for each Committee.

Class in January. John Hughes has
volunteered to help. This class will be for

and learn the game. Basic information on
the game will be provided, as well as a demonstration on how to play. Following this, a Beginner Class will be
scheduled with Karen as the instructor.
You must be a member to attend.
Basic skills will be demonstrated and attendees will practice on the
courts. Newbies will then go on to
Beginner 101, then Skill Level Drills.

classes. Information for the Orientation
Class will be posted in “What’s Happening;” information on all other classes

As winter homeowners return to QC, the courts
are getting quite crowded. A process
(called paddle stacking) for rotating in will be incorporated starting in
January and only when 8 or more members are waiting for play time. A bungee cord will be hanging outside Court

group of 4 paddles will rotate in; the next group of 4 take the next court when
the game is finished. Players coming off
the courts will “stack” their paddles at the end.
