********************************************************
Congratulations and Thank You to all those who played and volunteered in the National Senior Games! There was great play and many Albuquerque and NM folk did well among the huge national turnout of over 1200 players, the largest turnout for the National Senior Olympics (go to Pickleballtournaments.com to see who medaled). As the Albuquerque Local Chair for the National Senior Games, I had frequent meetings and contacts with the many City department heads, the NSGA, and the USAPA. All these groups praised your volunteering in reffing and hospitality, as well as gave us high marks for your overall friendliness and good sportsmanship throughout the games. Albuquerque does not have the quantity of pickleball players of a Phoenix or Villages community, so your help in all aspects of the Games was noted by all. To be able to put on games of this size required a huge number of volunteers contributing lots of hours and our Club really stepped up to the challenge. Thanks so much for all your work
in making the Games a success.
