Greetings from the pickleball courts at the North Conway Community Center. This week, we are looking back at the awesome tradition of the Volley in the Valley Pickleball Tournament started in 2018 by Barbara and Lenny Gulino.
The Gulinos expected this week to be filled with celebrations of the event winners and a delivery of a hefty check to Casa Inc., the event’s non-profit beneficiary. This year, however, had different plans and the event was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In order to mark the date, a beautiful hand-carved tournament plaque was installed at the center to show off past winners and the incredible workmanship of Bill Janelle.
