Pickleball is a paddleball sport that combines elements of badminton, table tennis, and tennis. Two or four players use solid paddles made of wood or composite materials to hit a ball over a net. The sport shares features of other racquet sports: the dimensions and layout of a badminton court, and a net and rules somewhat similar to tennis, with several modifications. Pickleball was invented in the mid 1960s as a children's backyard game. ***ALL SKILL LEVELS ARE WELCOME!***

Classes are available for adults and teens (12+) on Tues/Thurs/Fri from 9:30-11:30am, Tues/Thurs from 7-9pm (for Sept/Oct only), Saturdays from 5-8pm, & Sundays from 10am-1pm.

***Please bring a pair of clean indoor shoes for you to change into (in the entryway). Thank you for helping to keep our new floor looking good!***

Artist Statement

“My works examine diverse approaches to observing weather through direct human perception and indirect methods, like satellite imagery. This process highlights humanity’s complex relationship with climate change, weather modification, and our urge to control natural phenomena. My paintings on paper and panels often feature cloud-like forms layered with symbolic targets or molecular structures of greenhouse gases, while my installations echo cloudscapes and natural forms. Inspired by weather data codes, I integrate abstracted colors, marks, and shapes that reflect human influence on nature.”

Appointments for the 43rd annual Rotary Health Fair’s greatly discounted blood tests open September 1 on RotaryHealthFair.com. This year, all appointments will be scheduled for the day of the Rotary Health Fair on October 10 at Homer High School.

Participants can access their results as soon as they are available through their MyChart patient portal. There will be over 50 exhibitor booths sharing information and resources about health and wellness topics that attendees can visit following their blood draw.

There will be a line for walk-in blood draws at the fair, but making an appointment in advance is recommended to reduce wait time and guarantee your spot. If you absolutely cannot make the October 10 date, please reach out to (907) 399-3158.

For over four decades, South Peninsula Hospital and the Homer-Kachemak Bay Rotary Club have partnered to bring an array of remarkably discounted wellness screenings to the greater Homer community. This annual event is Rotary’s largest yearly fundraiser, and proceeds go towards Rotary’s scholarship and community programs.
