Blood Drive
When tragedy strikes, it’s the blood already on the shelves that matters most. Why? Because donations made through the American Red Cross take up to three days to be tested and processed before they are available for use by patients. That means a trauma victim who suffered life-threatening injuries may be saved in part thanks to a blood donation made by a college student the previous week, or an office manager the previous month. The donation may even come from you.
Red Cross volunteer donors come from all backgrounds and all walks of life, but what they have in common is the desire to help. That patient may never know who provided the blood that helped save her life, but she’ll undoubtedly be grateful forever.
Plus, you could win something awesome! Come to give blood during the month of October and you’ll automatically be entered for a chance to win one of five $500 gift cards redeemable at hundreds of merchants, courtesy of Tango Card.*
A blood donation only takes about an hour. Will you give more life?

Due to court space and time constraints, we are limited to 20 players, but will put additional interested players on a sub list in case anyone needs to drop out. So, the first 20 people to sign up will be guaranteed a spot.

In the meantime, if you are interested in learning more about the game of Pickle Ball we will be holding a beginner pickleball clinic on a Saturday in the fall…date TBD.
