Pickleball Club institutes annual dues for members

The Leisure World Pickleball Club voted to establish annual dues of $5 during its quarterly meeting on March 8. The club did not previously have a dues requirement. Money collected from this fee will offset various club expenses and allows for matching funds for select initiatives.

Nancy Rader was elected to fill the vice president vacancy. She will succeed Luann Jester, who passed away in February. The club will host a Celebration of Life to honor Jester on Sunday, March 29. Details have been posted on the Team Reach app.

Members also discussed the resurfacing of the courts, and opportunities to travel and cruise while enjoying the sport. Two cruise events are in the planning stages, one to Alaska and the other to the Caribbean for later this year. Both will incorporate pickleball activities on the ship and on shore.
