"Friends of Eckstein MS Pickleball" group has completed a formal project design process.  The firm of Johnson & Southerland, has delivered our technical specifications/ construction documents to use in a construction bid process. Drawings will be on display at the school. Next steps are fundraising and grant seeking.
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED:  A new leadership team (2-4 people) is needed to move this concept into the next phase ( the current leads are stepping down).  The next tasks and talent needed are: 
  1. Expanding awareness into the Eckstein MS community and surrounding neighborhood (Bryant, WW, View ridge schools)
  2. Fundraising, including creating a recognition program (Name on signs, tags on fence)
  3. Grant application to Department of Neighborhoods by March, June or September due dates.
  4. If Funded - Oversight / project management of construction phase professionals. (with assistance from Seattle Schools designated operations / facilities group for community based projects)
Email: Pickleballeckstein@gmail.com if you are interested in a lead role. 
If you would like to join the project newsletter mailing list - text keyword:  EMSpickleball to 22828. 
Seattle Parks Foundation is the committee's  fiscal sponsor providing banking and treasurer duties. This partnership provides us with a 501-3C non profit, tax deductible status for all donations. Finances are separate from the Eckstein PTSA budget.
Friends of Eckstein MS Pickleball is a collection of interested community parties, with the vision to replace the damaged, no longer used tennis court at Eckstein with 4 new, dedicated pickleball courts. The new courts would be used by students during PE classes and open play at lunch time, with possible pickleball clubs providing organized play opportunities after school.  The general public would have access evenings until dusk, weekends and any school holiday and vacation breaks.
