PPPA – WEEKLY EMAIL BLAST
In this week's blast:
PPPA has partnered with the USSP for this "NEW" Tournament in the Colorado Springs Community taking place September 9 - 11, 2022.
Please see the attached flyer for details on how to sign up! Click HERE to register. Proceeds from the tournament will help build six new pickleball courts at Bear Creek Regional Park.
Thanks to all who attended the Dinks and Dips Ice Cream Social on Friday, August 19th, our first social event for 2022. Over 100 PPPA members ate tasty ice cream sundaes, caught up with friends and even managed to play a few games of pickleball before Mother Nature brought the rain. A special shout out to the Board and Social Committee members who set up the event and scooped ice cream along with Corey Houger, owner of BJ's Velvet Freez. We're grateful to Ron Graham-Baker @ Digital Skyes Photography LLC, who was also on hand to take action shots of the event. Here's a link to his photos: https://photos.app.goo.gl/9SvFJ7Rj8rrG9GB16.
Stay tuned for other upcoming PPPA social events and don't forget to sign up for the Colorado Open - Pikes Peak or Bust Tournament on September 9-11, 2022, at MVP.
