Whereas, PickleBall is the nation's fastest growing sport, and

Whereas, the Portage YMCA is hosting the third nationally sanctioned Portage-Kalamazoo PickleBall Tournament, and

Whereas, the tournament supports the YMCA's Healthy Kids - Healthy Families Programs.

Now, therefore with great relish I, Peter J. Strazdas, Mayor of the City of Portage Michigan, hereby proclaim that May 19-21, 2010, Portage, Michigan is the "Center of the World for Pickleball."

And I call on all residents to support this great sport!
