PICKLE BALL COURTS KEEP BUSY

Monday through Saturday at 9 a.m. you can hear the sound of residents playing pickle ball. Pickleball is a paddleball sport that combines elements of badminton, table tennis and tennis. It is very popular among our younger residents here at the park. This season, with the pandemic, many of our residents who play pickle ball couldn’t come down, so that made it easier for the US residents to get a court. In normal season, many players have to wait in line to get a court, so they are hoping for more courts to be built in the future. Pickleball is becoming more popular as time goes on. If you want to play at night, lights are available at the courts. It is a sport where you can get your daily exercise, have fun and meet new people.

Karen Kammerer (928) 210-2525

Karen has volunteered to be your name tag lady. Name tags are used as a tool to get to know each other and they are required at many of our activities. Our non-profit status requires that we only have 15% of total revenues from out of park guests, so we have to keep track of everyone who attends our events. By wearing your name tag this will help us keep track easier and you will find that they will help you meet other residents easier. Karen will take orders over the telephone. Her number is 928-210-2525. The name tags are magnetic or can be obtained with a pin (for those with pacemakers) and cost $7.00. She will order them and pick them up and then deliver the name tag(s) to you, when they are ready, at which time you will pay her. She suggests that you order yours early, so when the season begins in November, everyone will have their name tags. If you are not going to be in Yuma until fall, and want to order yours, call Karen and she will have one made for you and you can pick it up when you come back.

CARD OF GRATITUDE

Dawn Cappleman and Marty Busch were given a card of gratitude for their continued dedication to the residents of Rancho Rialto by making sure all those who played Shuffleboard enjoyed the game. Many new residents, as well as those who have lived here awhile, came out and learned to play. Marty and Dawn made it possible for all residents who enjoyed Shuffleboard to play three days a week, during the pandemic, when staying away from crowds and people were the norm. All precautions were adhered to by all. Marty and Dawn, all your friends at the shuffle board court are very grateful for your help and kindness this season.
