We need a few good volunteers

Due to the generosity of the Aiken pickleball community, we were able to raise enough funds at our tournament to develop pickleball programs in several schools, starting with Leavelle McCampbell Middle School in Graniteville. We will be supplying them with everything they need to get started: nets, paddles, balls, and court markings. In addition to supporting their teaching of pickleball as part of their P.E. curriculum, we will also be bringing pickleball to their After School program. We need a few good volunteers to work with the students as they get started. These sessions will be October 7 and 21 from 3:30-6:00. If you can help on one or both of these dates, contact Mo Garcia at mog01@aol.com or Ben Lacy at benlacy1962@gmail.com by Sept 23 for more details.
