Hello dear Picklers in North and South Siskiyou,
We had an amazing surprise this weekend when Ken and Aaron organized 2 painting
parties
In Montague. On Saturday, the work began with Pete, Ken, Aaron and Tito (if I
missed anyone, please LMK).
Today, the work continued with Ken’s wonderful supervision. I wish to
especially acknowledge Ted and Shirley for not only being among the very first
to arrive at 8:30 o’crack of dawn, but also being the very last to leave at
3:00PM….Wow!!....Such Dedication
I also wish to acknowledge that our special friends from Mt. Shasta showed up
for us….which always blows my mind…Ken (one of the most amazing humans I’ve had
the honor of knowing
In this lifetime.)and Brenda and Lee.
From North County also: John, Tiffany, Sally, Aaron, Leslie and yours truly.
So, the courts will not be available tomorrow, Monday and I’ll let Ted or
Shirley email you tomorrow night to let you know the status as I will be out of
town.
Pamela will check on Y availability of gym for Monday and Wednesday and she
will email the group and let you know as soon as she gets an answer.
We have a lot to celebrate and much to appreciate. Please be sure to thank each
and everyone of our hard working players for showing up. I know many of you
would have come if you had had more notice. Such is life. Let’s be in
appreciation for the wonderful work and success that has been accomplished.
With warm gratitude,
I am,
Snow

Sorry, I didn’t make it clear that the work on the courts we are doing is in
Montague, not Mt. Shasta.
230 S. 13th St. Montague, CA
For those in Mt. Shasta, it’s about a 30 minute drive north.

Had fun today with a great group of folks. Afterward playing, Aaron, Tito, Pete
and I started the painting. I repaired the chipped area and associated cracks
on the northwest court yesterday so we first ground it smooth. Then we lined
out the 4th court on the northeast corner. Interestingly, we discovered the two
courts (one permanent net, the other without a net on the south end were 2
inches short! So if you ever served a long ball there it may have been good! We
then painted all the kitchens a beautiful blue, and all the service areas a
dark green (“NovaGreen”). They look amazing.
Tomorrow we are going to finish the surrounding areas with a lighter green
(“Grass Green”) and could use some help. We used squeegees to spread the paint,
rather than rolling it on like we did in Mt. Shasta. Squeegees are much
better!! But they really take some skill. Steve Sluss, the professional who did
the Mt. Shasta courts, makes it look so easy. But Aaron and I sort of have it
down now.
What we need are people who will mix paint and help pour it on so we can spread
it. Do some next-to-the-line rolling, carry water, do clean up, keep leaves off
(they keep falling on all the time). We could use 3 or 4 people. We plan to
start at 8:30.
The nets are off. We bought two new nets with the money you raised at your
scramble. We hope to get the lines painted tomorrow too. If we do, then we can
install the new nets, and the old tennis net separator.
But if we don’t get it finished it may mean the courts are out of service until
we can finish the lines. That’s why extra help would be nice.
