Pickleball is a game that was created with a goal of including every family
member to participate. The game was invented in 1965 on Bainbridge
Island, right outside of Seattle, WA. The game of Pickleball is played on a
badminton-sized court with wooden paddles and a small ball similar to a
wiffle ball. Having a lower net and smaller ball allows everyone of all ages
and abilities play this game and have fun!

February 26 - Almost, Maine - Faulkner Dinner Theater •
Montgomery, AL Welcome to Almost, Maine,
a town that’s so far north, it’s almost not in the
United States—it’s almost in Canada. And it
almost doesn’t exist because its residents never
got around to getting organized. So it’s
just...Almost. One cold, clear Friday night in the middle of winter,
while the northern lights hover in the sky above, Almost’s residents
find themselves falling in and out of love in the strangest ways.
Knees are bruised. Hearts are broken. Love is lost, found, and
confounded. And life for the people of Almost, Maine will never be
the same. The cost of the trip includes transportation, dinner and
admission. $35. Payable to the AAB. When: Thursday, February
