We play, primarily, doubles. After a Best of Three match, the Rule is : WINNERS SPLIT, LOSERS SIT. There are NO levels. Everyone plays with everyone else. People who are waiting to play are invited to play next. Singles may play, IF and ONLY IF there is an available table and no one is waiting. I would be more than happy to introduce any new players to our current group.
We RESPECT ONE ANOTHER, at all times.

Bill’s Move
Bill’s final visit with us will be Tuesday, September 29. The moving van will pack his belongings on Sunday, October 4, and he will head north shortly afterward. I hope everyone stops by to wish him well on his new endeavors. I for one want to thank him for his tireless efforts in helping to make the Pongers the success it is today.
Friendly Reminder
We want everyone—regardless of skill level—to feel welcome and have an opportunity to play at our Rec Center. Thanks to all for creating a welcoming environment, especially towards our newcomers. Please give our newest Ponger, Glenn Hertrich, a warm welcome.

Member Updates:
Gorden: It was great to see him back at the tables last week. He is doing remarkably well and pacing himself as he recovers. If he needs any help, we are here for him.
Gail: As you may know, she had a hard fall at one of our tables about a week ago. She suffered a small rib fracture and significant bruising, but she remains in good spirits and is getting around better each day.
Jim: is still recovering from back problems and will return as soon as he is able.
Diane: She continues to make significant progress in her recovery following her stroke.
We wish all these members a speedy recovery.
