When at the Pickleball courts, keep in mind these helpful facts:
January Launch of Ambassador Program Pilot
We are thrilled to announce the pilot launch of our TLN Ambassador Program! This initiative is designed to enrich the club play experience by introducing dedicated Ambassadors. These individuals will be on hand to offer support, guidance, and assistance to players during club hours. The Ambassador Contact list will be conveniently posted on the court bulletin board for your reference. Please note that the presence of Ambassadors will depend on weather conditions and their availability.
The role of the Ambassador is to offer responsive support when assistance is requested, all while maintaining a helpful, behind-the-scenes presence. Ambassadors will wear a distinctive blue band on either their paddle or wrist, signifying their availability and commitment to fostering a supportive presence on the courts.
Responsibilities may include:
- Creating a Welcoming Atmosphere: Foster an inclusive and friendly environment to make all players feel comfortable and valued.
- Providing Guidance on Paddle Stacking & Court Etiquette: Explain paddle stacking process, offer advice on procedures and court etiquette.
- Supporting New Member Onboarding: Assist new club members in acclimating to the club by guiding them through club communication tools like WhatsApp and Signup Genius.
- Participating in Games Across Skill Levels: Join games, regardless of skill level, to support a more connected and inclusive play environment.
The Ambassador Program will operate as a 60-day trial. At the end of this period, we will evaluate its impact and incorporate feedback to refine and optimize the program for maximum effectiveness.
We'd love to hear from you!

Pickleball Court Camera
Thanks to the generosity of Bruce and Colleen Solomon, a camera has been installed at the courts. Pickleball Club Members will now be able to view the conditions of the courts as well as court traffic.
Follow these instructions to obtain access to the camera:
- Download the Safeview app to your phone.
- After installing the app, you must set up a Safeview account with your email address and password.
- Once your account is established,
email the board requesting access. NOTE: Please ensure the email address you are sending from is the email address for camera access.
- Please be patient, as it will take a bit of time to add all the email addresses.
- Once the email address has been added, you will be notified via email (or you will see a pop-up in the app that you need to accept for access.)
The VAPTR ROLLR
Our new court drying machine!
The VAPTR ROLLR removes up to 95% of water from a court surface with a single pass minimizing court down time. Its patented 100% mechanical technology is far superior to a court squeegee and collects water letting you release it off court with ease, all without the use of electricity or gas. No batteries, no motor, no fuel, no noise, no squeegee… Just you!
Have you seen the VAPTR in action? Check out the videos below
If you would like to use the VAPTR ROLLR, please read these step-by-step instructions and attend an orientation session. Your name will then be added to the list of "authorized users.".

The AED previously situated in the metal storage container at the Sports Courts has been relocated to a new spot. It can now be found on the exterior wall of The Quad, securely housed in a wall cabinet to shield it from harsh weather conditions.
Did you know that prior to heading to the courts to enjoy a game of pickleball during club hours, it is requested that you register on SignUpGenius?
