Rainy Days are for … Pickles!

Tom Davidson Jr. with Michael Balcom

When life gives you lemons, make lemonade … but when life gives you rain, have some pickles!

Around 40 people braved a stormy Tuesday, March 19, to support the Medical Center’s Annual Fun-Raiser Tennis and Pickleball event. Inside it was cozy, the lunch was plentiful, and Tennis Pros Willie Cakans and Jim Morton made the best of it with a new way to win at tennis – and if you weren’t there to “play” – no big deal! If your name was drawn six times out of the lucky leprechaun hat or the medical kit box, you were the flight winner. (Pictured at right are Pickle Jar Prizewinner Tom Davidson Jr. with Pickleball Head Pro Michael Balcom.) And the winners were:

Flight A: Cyndee Swenson (Are you surprised, Cyndee?) and Dan Harding.
Flight B: Ginger Rettig and Dave Noyes.
First Place: Anne Marie Peretz and Jim Hassett

Many thanks to Tennis and Pickleball Chairs Janet Stevens and Barry Goldsmith.
