CANDIDATE
FOR TREASURER 2018-2020
PENNY
ROSSMAN
My
name is Penny Rossman and I’m running for Treasurer of Palm Creek Pickleball
Club. I was destined to be a money
handler (my Mom named me Penny after all).
My first treasurer position was for my high school senior class. I went on to graduate in business administration
from Oregon State University. When my
husband David started an engineering consulting business, I became the
controller for the company which we owned for nearly 30 years.
I
did a lot of volunteering during my children’s school years including Cub Scout
Den Leader and PTA. I was treasurer for the
Corbett Education Foundation and my Kiwanis club. My husband and I got involved in saving our
local grade school building to use as a community center and I was the
treasurer of that non-profit organization.
Palm
Creek Pickleball has provided physical and social activity and is the major
reason we have made Palm Creek our winter home.
I have volunteered over the years at tournaments, been in charge of
tournament player snacks, and am a round robin captain. The Club thrives because of the many
dedicated volunteers. Being treasurer
would give me the opportunity to continue helping the Club provide enjoyment
for its members.
CANDIDATE
FOR MEMBER AT LARGE 2018-2020
KATHIE
BAKER
My name is Kathie Baker and I
am running for an at large Board Member position.
We have been coming to Palm
Creek for 9 years. We were taught Pickleball by Dean & Laurel Wineinger and
have been hooked on it. I have been actively involved in the club activities
ever since. I have organized Pickleball
tournament dinners, helped sell shirts, sold raffle tickets and of course spent
a lot of time behind the camera at all the tournaments and activities. One of
the most fun and rewarding has been serving as a 2.5 captain. It is wonderful
to see the excitement and determination in learning something new and
challenging. I received a unique view of club organization and activities
observing Gary’s experience as Club Vice President, and Club President for 2
years.
I have been involved in owning
and running two businesses in which I handled sales, payroll, and payables. I
have worked in Interior Design and usually you will see an easel with an oil
painting in progress, on our site. I have spent a lot of time in Humanitarian
Aid volunteering, and countless hours in youth programs, and church service. I
believe in serving and helping wherever we can; whatever the need.
I am anxious to serve in the
club on the board. I have seen the growth from a small group on the tennis
courts to a large and still growing club on 32 premium courts. I have interest
and concern in seeing this club continue help teach and grow the sport of
Pickleball, and meet the challenges this brings.
Thank you for considering me
for this position.
Kathie Baker
