FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | AUGUST 2024 57
As I write this article for the Spin 'n Slam Table Tennis Club, it is
currently 105° in our wonderful community. And that is not even
the forecasted high temperature for today.
As we head into the dog-days of summer, I cannot think of a better
way to escape this insufferable heat then to head to The Courts
Multipurpose Room and join friends in a competitive game of table
tennis (and, yes, in some circles commonly known as ping pong).
With the rare exception of clearing The Courts space for early
morning yoga, or to accommodate another community club who
may need the room for a few hours for an event, the three ping pong
tables are set up on the f loor every day until they lock the doors.
Whether you are just a beginner or have been playing in your garage
or basement since second grade, you are always welcome to join in.
There is always a large supply of ping pong balls and paddles in
the kitchen drawers, or if you're really feeling your oats, feel free to
jump on websites such as Paddlepalace.com or Megaspin.net and
get yourself a $250 professional setup.
The Spin 'n Slam Table Tennis Club meets every Tuesday,
Thursday, and Saturday at 10 am in The Courts. Of course, you are
welcome at any time if you want to get a really good workout when
its 105° outside.
See you at the tables. ~ Bob Rubenstein, brube88@gmail.com
Hello all, hope your summer is going well and you're staying hydrated.

a great group of people.
