Don’t put away that gift you will NEVER use – We are having a Post Jingle Regifting Party! At our first Happy Hour of 2022 – Friday, January 7th we will have a regifting party for anyone that wants to participate. You know that gift (or gifts) you got for Christmas that you will NEVER use, we have an enjoyable and creative way you can REGIFT them! Place it in a brown paper bag and close it up tightly. You can use a grocery bag or lunch bag, depending on the size needed. If you have problems finding brown bag(s) we will have some at the office of the clubhouse the week before. Then bring it to our Happy Hour at Calhoun’s on Friday, January 7th any time after 5pm and we will have a table set up where you “bring a gift, take a gift”! We have a drink and share some time together as we also enjoy watching everyone open their NEW gifts.

She is the current Director of Pickleball at Palmetto Dunes and a competitive, touring pro. Residents/members (age 16+) who register by Feb. 4 will have priority on one of 12-16 available spots per session. There will be beginner and intermediate sessions each day, a 2 ½ hr session for $95 and a 4 hr session for $145, a significant reduction from obtaining similar quality instruction elsewhere. You may sign up for multiple sessions. Camp dates are Friday and Saturday, February 18 and 19. The camp is for you if you want to take your game to the next level or to simply learn to avoid injuries while playing.
