Pickleball for Polio

Valley View Rotary was well represented at Pickleball for Polio last Thursday night with four teams in the Rotary Club Challenge Tournament! Mike Friar and Deb Ondell took second while Terry Bauer's team took third, Jen Ludwigson and her mother (Nancy Berg) came in fifth and Nancy Schmidt and Dana Alitz finished 8th (Scott held down the desert bar). While a couple of young “ringers” from After Hours took the first place trophy, I'm pretty sure we had to be the overall champion club!
