Parade, St Baldricks, Spring Fling
Parade
Have you ever wanted to be in a parade but don’t have a clown costume? Now’s your chance!
Become an Evergreen celebrity! Once again, Mike Morris has entered his old car in the Rodeo Parade and plans to carry the Pickleball Club banner. Come join him by walking in front of the car, hitting pickleballs, and handing out candy through downtown Evergreen. The more walkers, the merrier! The parade is Saturday, June 20, starting at 10:00 AM at Christ the King church. Text Mike at 303-587-0977 if you want to join the fun.
St. Baldrick’s
Our very own Kathryn Cook is shaving her head for the 10th year (“JAM CRACKERS!”) to raise funds for childhood cancer research. She’s raised $1,591 so far (“MOTHER FUDGE!”). If you’d like to donate to this good cause you can do so here. The official shaving is June 20th at Java Groove. Time was still TBD as we went to press.
Spring Fling
Last Wednesday saw many non-introverted members of the club gathering at the Genesee Pub & Grill for our annual Spring Fling Social. BBQ, drinks and good conversation were shared. Gig Blitz Homes sponsored the event for all to enjoy. Here are the photos shared with the newsletter. Apologies to anyone I wasn’t able to identify. I put in fake names to conceal my ignorance. If I find out who they are, I’ll post corrections.
Gig Blitz - who sponsored the event and handed out the free drink tickets - chats with David Souter. Linda Strauss attempts to duck down out of the shot but doesn’t make it.
Social Director Kathy Kincannon is congratulated by Tamra Hall for organizing another great event. Tamra is sporting a fabulous necklace from Jewelry by Tamra.
Kristina Brimmekamp, Grand Emeritus of the Court “Good” Larry Anderson, Manucher Salehi. Leanor Lessard hides off to the side. A dude with a fabulous head of white hair in background. Doesn’t appear to be a club member?
Speaking of fabulous hair, who knew Corinne Jackson had that mane scrunched up under her hat? Jeff Dickenson. Susan Dickenson flashes a gang sign she learned playing “down the hill”.
Mo Gohlke is caught by surpise in this candid photo. John Dunlop hides a healthy pour of straight vodka in a soda cup, Sue Dunlop, and Bob Fudge
Steve and Jennifer Nunn on the left side. Bruce Wayne? in back on the right. Scott Melle of the clean plate club. Jim Mosby.
Leanor Lessard and Cherie Peterson chat with…Gal Gadot?
Tournament Director Roger Miles, Linda Jacobsen and Erich Meyer.
Kathleen Robinson, Liz Stensing, and Barb Perkins hide out in the back corner to escape all the dudes hitting on them.
Jeff Dickenson, Chris Courim, Susan Dickenson, and Pat Bixenman chuckle amusedly imaging the caption I’ll put on this picture. They are probably very disappointed at this point.
Steve and Jennifer Nunn again. Master of Merchandise Valerie McVay and someone I’m guessing is her husband? The name tag says Kirk. Let’s go with that.
Gig, Jim, and Corinne have already been featured so I would have skipped this picture, but look at June Flinn with the wineglass! “Yeah, I know that’s it’s still half full, bartender. It’ll be empty by the time I get there!”
Jamie Kincannon drinking what appears to be an old timey bottle of snake oil, John Wells looks like he’s had a hit of it, Bud Parr looks like he’s had a couple hits, and Dave Figuli looking like the saleman who sold it to them.
Don Washco, Kathy Ayers, and Dave Figuli
First Lady Debbie Kerr, looks like June Flinn got her refill, Bruce Flinn with water cuz he knows he’s DD tonight, President Bob Kerr giving his trademark “I’m skeptical” look like he does when you call one of his balls out.
Karen Parr, Bud Parr after that snake oil hits, sadly another person I don’t know, Treasurer Jeri Herskovits, and Brian Plicher.
