Conga Sports Drumbeat 16 for 9/30/24

Brought to you by Maclynn International.

Good Monday morning, everyone.
We have some new events listed. Surf + Turf in Del Mar has posted Halloween and Thanksgiving parties. Susan Nardi has introduced a brand new concept: LiveBall Leagues!

And we have the September winner for the $100 Visa Gift Card: 
Congratulations, Thomas Pirodsky
from Encinitas, California (my old stomping grounds!)

Btw, I’ve tried to add the new Padel courts in Sherman Oaks to Drumbeat but they are hard to reach. We’ll keep trying.

Please email me with updates or let me know if you want your programs and events added. And please share this newsletter with your friends.

Thank you!
Rich Neher, CEO, Conga Sports

Each person is individually profiled and automatically added to their offline ‘black book’. Maclynn International extends an invitation to all Conga members and Drumbeat readers to become one of their Open Members. Maclynn's matchmakers commit their time to Private Members, individuals who pay for active service, then tap into their network of Open Members to hand-select the best matches and make one-on-one introductions. Pretty neat system, if you ask me.
