Thankful for Pickleball! Troy Community Center Friday November 23

There will be drop in Pickleball this Friday, November 23, 2012 for age 50+ players.
  • 10:30am-11:30am is for beginners
  • 11:30am-1:30pm is for more advanced players
There will probably be higher number of players due to many folks being off from work.

Friday afternoon we will be having drop in as well for 50+ from 5-7pm. $4 resident $5 non-resident.

I would anticipate higher attendance that night as well.
