I hope everyone got to get out an enjoy the beautiful weather we had this weekend! My family thoroughly enjoyed it, but probably the happiest creatures in our house were the cats. We actually opened the windows yesterday and when I tell you my cats were sparky, that is a huge understatement. A little bit of fresh air is all it takes to turn them into wild jungle cats! It was good for them, though, and us, and it was just so nice to be able to turn the heat off and feel the breeze…for a little while anyway!
On to business! I have some very exciting news for you this morning. We are very happy to announce that individual Tech Talks are back! Spencer, who runs our monthly Tech Talk class, has decided to come every Tuesday to help out. Appointments are available now, so please give us a call and we can get you on the list. Just a heads up, he is only meeting with one person per week, so there will probably be a bit of a wait to get in, but you are always welcome to attend the class on the last Tuesday of every month.
Also, in case you hadn’t heard, the Pickleball nets are finally up! Hopefully some got to enjoy the courts this weekend. The nets are up for good so the outdoor Pickleball season has officially started at Generations. As a reminder, member may use the courts for free, but if you bring a friend who isn’t a member, there is a drop box in the shed for their $5 guest fee.
And here’s what we have coming up…
