Thank you to everyone who joined us for the 2025 Holiday Members’ Social on December 6th! It was a fantastic morning filled with lots of pickleball, socializing, cookies, and festive party favors. The “weather” was perfect inside the Rocket City Pickleball Club, and many of you shared how excited you were to play at this beautiful indoor facility for the first time.
It was wonderful to see so much laughter, connection, and fun among members from across the Madison County and Huntsville area. And THANK YOU for your generosity in supporting the North Alabama Food Bank. Together, we collected 365 pounds of food plus a $25 cash donation—an incredible contribution that will make a real difference this season.
Play continued throughout the morning, with short breaks only to draw names for our door prizes! These prizes were made possible through the generosity of our local supporters:
Saturn Sports (3061 Leeman Ferry Road SW, Huntsville 35801)
Donated two $20 gift cards and a Diadem paddle.
The Winning Edge (7540-A Memorial Parkway SW, Huntsville 35802 – Rosie’s Plaza)
Donated a full-size Vulcan bag, a training paddle, and provided 20% discount cards for all attendees.
Please consider visiting and supporting these local businesses for your Diadem and Selkirk pickleball gear—and be sure to thank them for supporting our club!
A BIG thank you to SPORTSMED, whose sponsorship covered the indoor court rental and all the extras that made this social special.
As always, events like this happen thanks to the dedication of our Club Social Committee, who work hard to bring added value and fun to your membership. Thank you to: Brenda Hochstein (our cookie designer), Rita DeGraaf, Connie Carr, Gail Tipps, Robin Loftin, Ying, and our newest member, Sharon Weldy.
Additional thanks to Kay Corder, Club Treasurer, for supporting 2026 membership sign-ups during the event.
Happy Holidays to All!
Kim Minkinow and Sandy Greene, Committee Co-Chairs
