Congrats to Rosanne Smith, Brian Crocker, Jane Perry & Marilyn Graham who all won prizes for best Canada Day apparel.

According to the T-J last week the cupboard was almost bare so thank you to everyone for your donations to the St. Thomas Food Bank. 135 lbs. of food & $115 were collected to help out the cause.

Thanks go to those executive & club members who worked to make this a great day.

We have three other events coming soon. Our 3rd Annual Railway City Pickleball Tournament on Aug. 25….have you signed up yet? The Iron Horse Invitational Challenge on Aug. 18 for advanced level players & our brand new Luck of the Draw Beginners Tournament on Sept. 8. Information on all these events can be found on the News & Announcement page of the STPC website.
