The yearly search for members to step up to join our Executive and help lead our club for the coming year is underway. We will need about 4 new people to offer their time and talents for the coming year. Dave E. will be stepping down after 2 years as Vice President followed by 3 years as President but will still be on the Executive for one more year as Past President. Obviously, this is a crucial position with our club, but one that offers you a chance to lead a great group of fellow Executive members plus our club members and help to shape the future of the Nanaimo Pickleball Club and pickleball in Nanaimo for the future. As Past President, Dave will be available to guide you along the way using the experience he have gained, as much or as little as you wish. Please give this some serious thought and get back to him personally if you’d like to discuss it further. Much like the TD position, we REALLY need a President and 3 others to join the Executive. It’s only through volunteering that our club exists, operates and thrives!
Some of our members recently competed in the Kimberly/Cranbrook 2018 55+ Games and were very successful!
