Come join this fine group. Any questions, call Jane at 815-545-6655. LA PICKLEBALL By Dennis Santino Lake Aston Pickleball Association members continue to enjoy the benefits of our club. Last month the social committee organized another fun event, our Valentine’s Day Mixer. We also launched our Facebook page (Lake Ashton Pickleball Association. facebook.com). This page will inform our community of all the events LAPA offers its members. Activities like pickleball tournaments, mixers, potlucks, fun days, training clinics and skill clinics. We all retired to enjoy life and there is no better way than to join the second largest club in our community! Membership fee is just $15 a year. Such a small investment to enjoy the fun and camaraderie of our club. Sign up sheets can be found at the HFC. Hope to see all of you on the pickleball courts soon and remember my # 1 Rule: HAVE FUN (as seen on the back cover)!
