1. McKinley update
I just spoke with the park and starting April 5th we will again be able to play
badminton on Sundays. The NEW hours for play are from 11:30 a.m. until 3:30
p.m. Please do not come early as the building will not be open until 11 a.m.
We need to be out of the gym at 3:30 p.m. so they can close the building just
like on Tuesdays and Fridays.

Also, the park is staying with the building being closed at 9 p.m. during the
week so we will need to keep the current end times for Tuesday and Friday nights
play at 8:40 p.m. and out of the building by 8:45 p.m.

Hours of play: Tuesday & Friday 6pm to 8:40pm
Sunday 11:30am to 3:30pm

Thank you for your patience.

[Thanks to Jim Staneart for the update!]
