| SUN LAKES LIFESTYLES | SEPTEMBER 2021 | | SUN LAKES LIFESTYLES | SEPTEMBER 2021 | 59 59 Congratulations to everyone who participated in the Sun Lakes Summer Games… and especially to our Pickleball Club members! Way to go! If you want information on when to come out and play, call Judy Luna at (949) 929-2390. See you on the courts! Pickleball Club Hi again! It's Aug. 8 and we just attended the FIRST ever Sun Lakes Summer Games Ceremony yesterday. Our small group had a good representation at the games. Thank you to Bob Walters, Randy Robbins and Jason Ewals for bringing this event to our community. Also, thank you to all the staff members and residents who were an intricate part of running all the events and working to run the awards ceremony. A special moment occured when Howard Jackson was awarded a Silver Medal for his participation in the mens doubles part of our competition. At 91 years of age, this was an outstanding performance. Howard and his deceased wife Peggy were part of the original group of residents who started the Table Tennis Group in 1987, leading the group for a period of time. I have to add that James Xu, as his doubles partner, was an important part of Howards' success. We have been very fortunate in adding new members to our group. If you have never played, please come and give us a try. We have newer, top quality tables, balls, nets, and some loaner paddles for your use. We have all levels of players — those who have played for years, including tournament-quality players to those just starting. So again I say, "come give us a try." A fun way to exercise and develop great eye/hand coordination. Just a fun time to be had for those who come. Normally we play Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, 4 to 6 pm, and Sat., 10 am to 12 noon in the Main Clubhouse Ballroom (normally). Because the Ballroom is such a popular venue for so many varied events, our time slot sometimes gets canceled. Therefore, if you are not a regular attendee, please refer to the Sun Lakes website at sunlakescc.com and click on "Recreation" then click on "Classes," and finally click on "Table Tennis Group" for the current months up to date schedule. You can also check the Main Clubhouse events board across from the reception desk or call (951) 845-2191 for that day's calendar. We have all skill levels currently participating and welcome all newcomers. We have several newer quality tables, and all the equipment is provided free by the Sun Lakes Recreation Department. A fun way to exercise! Please come give us a try. There are no fees. Laced tennis shoes required - no exceptions! For info, contact Roland at (951) 769-3978.
