Pickleball organizers donate $4,258 to village; request court and bathroom improvements
Summary
Organizers of Michiana's pickleball tournament presented a $4,258 donation after expenses and asked the council to consider court cleaning schedules, reopening bathrooms and installing hand dryers and keypad access.
Sally McDonald, representing the pickleball organizers, thanked the Council for approving a rain date and reported that after expenses the tournament is "giving the Village a check for $4,258." She said the event raised $4,000 during the tournament and that Zorn's Brewery hosted a give‑back day that contributed $258. The organizers also donated equipment (cranks and a squeegee) for court maintenance.
Sally proposed operational improvements including blowing courts off for Thanksgiving weekend, reopening the bathrooms, installing hand dryers (which the organizers offered to donate) and adding keypad access for bathroom entry. The Council thanked the organizers and did not make an immediate decision on scheduling or keypad implementation at the meeting.
