On Saturday, April 2, we crowned three new winners of the
monthly pickleball tournament. Gregg Ross was the winner
overall and of the men's division, winning every game for a total
of 45 points. Jamie Calvert and Gigi Samaha tied for honors of
first place in the women's division. Congratulations to each of
you and to all of the players who participated in the tournament.
Our next tournament will be on Saturday, May 7. Hope to see
you there!
If you are interested in joining the fastest growing sport in
America, please contact me. I will be happy to teach you the
basics of the game at no cost and introduce you to the great
pickleball family at The Colony.

Welcome to May, even though I'm writing this on April 2. We had
our dinner on St. Patrick's Day, and everyone had a great time. Our
leprechaun left 14 bottles of Irish Whiskey and a bottle of Irish Meade for
some of our guests in the golden eggs he left at the end of the rainbow. We
also celebrated Ralph Sanzari's 94th Birthday! Ralph was kind enough
to furnish a bottle of champagne for each table. What a guy!! (Sorry, I
misspelled Ann's last name the previous month. My bad, it is Sanzari.)
It looks like we will have nine, maybe 10, teams for the Summer League which starts on June 2
and ends on July 29. Hot Schotzz, PinPoppers, and Strikes Happen are 1,2,3 in the standings, with
Rolling Pins right behind in 4th place. Remember,our Awards Dinner is on Thursday, June 2. We
will be having tacos, rice and beans and chips with salsa, and three kinds of meat: beef, pork and
chicken. If we have 40 people, the cost will be $19 per person, if we have 50 people, it will be $16,
and conversely, if we have less than 40 people, pricing will be slightly higher. This is the night we
pass out all the money, so I hope attendance is high! We can't buy a bowling alley, but maybe we
can buy a golf course. Let's hope it all works out in the coming months.
