The USAPA Board would like to welcome the new USAPA e-newsletter committee.  Publisher will be Jennifer Lucore from Oceanside, California; Editors will be Linda and Lynn Laymon.

Jennifer has owned her own company, Upstream Marketing, since 2002, specializing in helping medium size businesses and individual owners with all their marketing needs.  She has over 21 years of experience creating and managing strategic marketing tools.

She is both a competitive tennis player at the national level and a competitive pickleball player, having won three medals in the Open division of the just completed USAPA National Pickleball Tournament.  She learned about pickleball from playing with her parents - Bev and Bob Youngren.

As the Publisher, Jen will be responsible for the overall layout, coordination, graphic design and delivery of the newsletter.

After 20-year corporate careers Lynn and Linda Laymon seized the buyout opportunity, sold their worldly possessions and headed for the Caribbean and later Hawaii to teach scuba diving.  Twenty-five years later they earn a living contributing to scuba diving, RV and restaurant publications.  Since 1991 hundreds of their monthly articles and photographs have appeared in magazines worldwide.

Combined with 14 years of casual and tournament pickleball play, their journalism backgrounds make Lynn and Linda perfectly suited to take on the task of USAPA newsletter editors.

Currently Lynn and Linda spend the winter months at Happy Trails RV Resort in Surprise, Arizona and the remainder of the year traveling in their motor coach to pickleball tournament venues across America.  The Laymons will be responsible for collecting and editing all the articles for the newsletter.  They will appreciate your continuing to submit your news, views and ideas  to them via the USAPA Contacts page.

The Board is pleased to have these new volunteers share their talents with our membership.
