Wanna play pickleball?
What is pickleball? you ask.  I had no clue myself so I "wikipediaed" it.  Isn't it great how in American English you can change nouns into verbs and create new words?  
 
Anyway, pickleball is a paddle sport created for all ages and skill levels played indoors or out on a badminton-sized court or a slightly modified tennis court.   

Local resident Tracy Taylor would like to get a group of residents interested to play on the tennis court in Wadsworth Park.  The court was recently re-striped to accommodate the game.  If you are interested, email her at [email protected].
 
To find out more about the game, and there is a lot to learn, go to http://www.usapa.org/what-is-pickleball/
  
As a side note, Tracy runs a dog kennel on Kilbourne Road and it's a good place to leave your pooch should you need kennel services.
Rain Barrel and Compost Event-

 

On May 9th, the Solid Waste Agency of Lake County ("SWALCO") is conducting a giant sale of products for collecting rain water and composting activities.  You can also purchase from 60 varieties of native plants and grasses.

How to become a Wadsworth Queen-
As you might recall from previous newsletters, we are very proud of the young women who represent our village in all kinds of activities. It is not a beauty pageant; rather, it is a process of how young girls develop into young women capable of giving back to their communities and mankind, as well.  
 
If you have a daughter who might be interested, all the relevant links are below.  I can tell you what a wonderful maturation process this can be and participation can only help your daughter grow into a wonderful young lady.

Wadsworth Queens golf outing-
