LA PICKLEBALL CLUB By Earl Schley The LA Pickleball Association held a Sadie Hawkins tournament on March 3. Over 50 people participated in the event and many people got in the spirit and dressed for the occasion. As each women’s name was called, she had to pick her partner from a bag with all the men’s names in it. Mother Nature decided to end the event a little early but everyone went in the HFC to share snacks and fellowship until the rain stopped. Dennis Santino had another successful beginner’s clinic on March 11. If you would like to check out pickleball and find out why it’s the fastest growing sport in America, then Dennis’s clinics are a great place to start. His next clinic in on April 15 and April 22 (must be able to attend both). The Social committee is planning many more events for this year. Besides great exercise, pickleball is a wonderful way to meet people and have fun. It’s easy to join in the fun. Just go to the HFC and there is a sign up sheet. The dues are only a dollar a month — $12/year. Hope to see you on the courts. GENEALOGY CLUB By Jane Imparl The next Genealogy Club meeting will be held on Wednesday, April 10 at 2 pm in the HFC Craft Room. We will be discussing our “brick walls”, interesting stories we found about our ancestors, and answering participants’ questions that have arisen while they have done research. Come join the fun and enjoyment of meeting and working with your fellow Lake Ashtonians. Any questions? Call Jane at 815-545-6655. Hope to see y’all there. 39
