Hi Pickleball Friends,

As you know, the Event Calendar and the Resource Guide are two of the most popular sections of our newsletter. With over 2,000 subscribers now in our community, these pages have become the go-to spots for local schedules, resources, and connections.

That’s why I’d love your help: please take a close look at these sections and let me know if you spot any mistakes, or if something should be added, updated, or removed. Your feedback is what keeps this newsletter accurate, useful, and valuable for the entire Palm Beach County pickleball community.

And on a personal note, I’d like to wish a very happy and healthy new year to everyone who observes. May the year ahead bring you joy, good health, and plenty of great pickleball.

Thanks as always for being part of this growing community—we couldn’t do this without you!

See you on the courts,

Bob
