Our PEM Pickleball Club election of Officers (President, Vice President, Secretary & Treasurer) will be at our Annual Banquet/Meeting on March 14, 2018.  See attached PDF for candidate pictures and bio.
 
Here is the section from our bylaws outlining the process:
 
ARTICLE V – Election
 
Section 1       Nomination Committee:  A nominating committee made up of a minimum of five (5) club members shall be appointed by the President and Vice President to present prospective candidates for President, Vice President Treasure and Secretary.  Members wishing to be a candidate must contact the nominating committee by the date set forth by the nominating committee.
 
                        At the PEMPC annual March banquet/meeting the nominating committee will present the slate of candidates for officer positions. Voting will be by secret ballot if more than one candidate is proposed for any position otherwise a hand vote will be used.
 
Section 2       Quorum:  A minimum of 50 members in good standing must be present.
 
Section 3       Election:  All officers shall be elected by a majority vote of those present at the annual Banquet/membership meeting in March.  Proxy votes must be in writing.
 
Section 4       Term of Office:  Initially The terms of President and Treasurer will be for two years and the term of the Vice President and Secretary will be for one year.  Thereafter all officers are elected for two-year terms. 
 
Proxy voting is a form of voting whereby a dues paying member may delegate his or her voting power to another dues paying member, to enable a vote in absence. Proxy votes must be in writing indicating who is giving and who is receiving the proxy vote and presented to the nominating committee at the March 14, 2018 meeting.
 
 
SSIPA Tournament at Pueblo El Mirage - March 20-23, 2018

Last March we provided the venue for the first ever SSIPA tournament. This year we are going to host it ourselves. The tournament is open to all players 60 years or older (age lowered from last year). Registration opens on Monday, January 8 at 7:00 AM (not midnight) through pickleballtournaments.com. This is a skill/age tournament. Cost is $50 and includes all events. Here's a direct link for your convenience: https://www.secure.pickleballtournaments.com/welcome.pl?tid=1307. And yes, we will need lots of volunteers but it won't be as labor intensive as the Grand Canyon Games. This is a great opportunity to get your feet wet if you haven't played in tournaments before. If you have any questions, contact information is on the (PT) website.

Thanks to the hard work of many and the willingness of Roberts Resorts - we had another successful tournament here at Pueblo El Mirage

In the past four years (now five years) of hosting the Grand Canyon State Games we have had over 150 volunteers helping to make the event run smoothly.
