Our last attempt at a round robin didn't quite work out due to a weather system caused some havoc, but we're going to try again this weekend.  Choose from four skill levels and choose whether you'd prefer to play higher or lower than that level if necessary. Check in will be Saturday morning at 8:00 am, with a scheduled start time at 8:30.  Click the blue box above to sign up or click HERE. PLEASE SIGN UP AS SOON AS YOU KNOW YOU CAN ATTEND! The registration deadline is 4:00 pm on Friday. While registration may stay open longer, this is not guaranteed. It all depends on how many more players are needed to get to a workable number. So please register early. We hope to see you there on Saturday! 

West Hawai'i Mediation Center will be holding their third annual Pickleball for Peace tournament on Saturday, August 29.  For the first time this year, the one-day tournament will be a mixed doubles event.  Check in is at 7:30 am with the tournament scheduled to begin at 8 am.  Tickets for the event can be purchased at this LINK.  Tickets are $75, and include lunch, as well as GREAT prizes for the top 3 finishers at each level.  

All players who participate in this event also receive a free registration to Big Island Rogue Pickleball Hui's women's and men's doubles event the following Saturday, September 5, which will take the place of the regular round robin that weekend.

Sign up as soon as you can!  Information to sign up for the following weekend's tournament will be coming this week.

So, we tried to have a round robin on the same day that Hurricane Lala struck our island.  It didn't go great, exactly.  We got one round of games in before good sense overcame pickleball addiction.  We'll try again next week, hopefully without the hurricane.

We were heartbroken to hear of the passing of original Hui member and friend to all who knew him, Bob Kennel.  Bob and Sally Kennel have been two of the most well-loved people in the Holua pickleball community.  We grieve with Sally while we fondly remember Bob's presence in our lives.  

Bob and Sally were big supporters of the Food Basket, the Big Island's food bank.  If you would like to make a donation to this important organization, please click HERE to go to their donation page.  Thank you.
