EDITED: Congratulations to Patricia 'Patti' Lutosky on this 14" Brown Trout out of Cold Creek 8/13/2026! Unfortunately, Brown Trout are not on the species list for the fishing contest, so this is another 'unofficial' entry. However, please keep submissions coming for Northern Pike, Smallmouth Bass, Rainbow and Brook Trout, King Salmon, Bluegill, and Perch caught at Pull-up Lake, Cranberry Lake, Cold Creek Pond, Jocko Pond, Elbow Lake, Dollar Lake, and the Upper and Lower Millecoquins River, until the September 30th deadline for the 2026 Fishing Contest!

Through a generous directed gift by an anonymous donor to the HSC Foundation, we have a unique opportunity to recover our West Beach Tennis Courts.

As many of you may know, recovering the West Beach Courts has been on the Club's project list for years but has been a victim of higher priority investments. The courts are severely moon cratered and need major recapping vs patching. We have a line-item estimate of $100,000 to tear out and replace with concrete.

As we have asphalt contractors onsite, we requested and received a quote to asphalt cap the courts.

Note: The majority of hard tennis courts are made of asphalt rather than concrete. Asphalt is cheaper to install upfront, making it the preferred choice for most public parks, schools, and local recreation centers.

The plan is to recap and acrylic paint and stripe the courts for dual use for Pickleball and Tennis over the next few weeks. Normally cost would be $5 per square foot or approximately $50,000. Given the asphalt equipment is onsite and multiple projects, the contractor is offering to complete for $30,000.

Given this is a significant member-funded expense, and a very quick turnaround, we are looking to other members for support via contributions. You can make a directed, (in check memo note: West Beach Tennis Court) tax-deductible donation through the HSC Foundation at https://www.hscfoundationinc.org/donations.html

We apologize for the short notice but this is time critical for your help by making a donation. Spread the word, and let your fellow pickle-ballers know as all contributions are appreciated.
