PINE NEEDLERS QUILT GUILD
SANDY SMITH
Happy Easter to all...Enjoy this beautiful spring day. So nice to have longer sunny days, at least for now.
The Pine Needlers Quilt Guild meets the 3rd Tuesday of each month, at 10:00 a.m. under the library. We also have a Meet & Greet at 9:30 to catch up with what’s been happening in the quilting world. If you bring your lunch and a project to do, you can sew with us afterwards til 3. This is always a time of learning and encouragement. Try it, you will like it.
Speaking of encouragement...This is the year for the Quilt Show...so may be a time to consider what you will be making. Encouraging one another is what we as quilters do best. Sooo, encourage away! The show is always wonderful and gets better every year. One more thing to consider...Advent. I have started mine, loving what I am doing. A great take along project to doctors’ appointments and such. Jean shared she is almost done with hers. Some people are just more organized than me.
Next month we will be installing our new officers in Mary Laveroni Park. Just a heads up that we will be meeting in the park and sharing a meal. We will not be under the library as usual. More info to follow next month.
A date to remember Tuesday April 15th, under the library at 10 a.m. for Pine Needlers Quilt Guild meeting. See you then! If you have any questions, please call the president Kris 650 722-0307 or Vice Pres Leslie 209 482-1406.

TOURNAMENT TEE SELECTION
Many of our tournaments allow players to select what tees they will play from. It is important that players sign up for the correct tees. Any player can play from the Gold tees, regardless of their age or index, if they so choose. But only players that qualify may play from the Purple/Green tees. To qualify a player must be 70, or older, or have an index of 18.7, or higher. It is very difficult for the Golf Shop to make tee changes at the last minute. Any player that plays from incorrect tees risks disqualification. Typically, one team member will sign up a 4-man or 2-man team, so it is imperative that that team member sign up their team from the correct tees.
WEBSITE TOURNAMENT SIGN UP
Please continue to use the website, www.pmlmgc.com to sign up and pay for tournaments.

PML PICKLEBALL CLUB
PAM RODGERS
Come join us Monday, Wednesday, Friday 10-12 or go to www.playtimescheduler.com to see current times based on season.
WHY THE HECK IS PICKLEBALL SO POPULAR?
Unless you have lived off the grid for the last 5 years someone has asked you if you play pickleball or want to come out to play. So, WHATS UP?
WHAT IS PICKLEBALL?
Pickleball is a paddle sport combining elements of tennis, badminton, and ping- pong.
#1 SOCIAL
PML Pickleball Club is known for the best parties and potlucks. Known as a very patient, supportive group willing to teach new people the game. Court is smaller, allowing players to be close enough to one another to hold conversations. Great bonding activity with family & friends of all ages and skill levels.
#2 HEALTHY
Great exercise for your mind & body. Pickleball involves balance, agility, reflexes & hand-eye coordination. Wonderful alternative to tennis, if you have had issues with your hip, shoulder, knee, or other joint problems.
#3 FUN
FUN for ALL ages & Skill Levels. Pickleball is “The Great Equalizer” sport. Your college athlete will get to every ball and smash it over the net, but Grandma with two new hips wins the point?
THE DINK
Simple Rules – you can learn in one day. Do not worry. Our weekend play is fast paced, competitive & exciting to watch. It can be quite challenging, fast-paced & competitive when people become more experienced at playing. Just join us on the weekends for some more advanced play.

“CARING HEARTS-HELPING OTHERS”
“At the end of the day it’s not about what you have or even what you’ve accomplished… it’s about who you’ve lifted up, who you’ve made better. It’s about what you’ve given back.” – Denzel Washington
This month’s article highlights some of the events and activities we proudly support! While not a complete list, it showcases our impact on the local community.
Partnering with Tenaya Elementary, we help fund and organize a Fall shopping trip for some of the school’s most disadvantaged students, providing essentials for a strong start to the school year. Several organizations joined us in funding this effort.
We were excited to assist Trail Less Traveled (TLT) with The Giving Tree project during the holidays. We donated to the project, baked cookies for the tree lighting event, and sponsored families with holiday gifts.
ROOFBB volunteers also supported Rotary’s Super Bowl Breakfast in Sonora, helping with setup the day before and working the event on game day.
Additionally, we hosted at Around The Horn for the Super Bowl, running games and raising nearly $800 for our college scholarship program—while having a blast!
