By: Fayne Anne Griffiths “This was a great tournament with friendly but stiff competition,” The Beaverton Fun Tournament was the first major event put on by the Columbia River Pickleball Club, which seeks to bring together pickleball enthusiasts from the Portland, OR and Vancouver, WA areas. Fayne Anne Griffiths (http://fayneannegriffiths.tumblr.com/) Pickleball was invented in the 1960s as a combination of badminton, tennis, and table tennis played with something approaching a whiffle ball, but has only recently begun to pick up speed as a popular amateur sport. “People are always asking me what pickleball is – it sounds like baseball played with a pickle instead of a ball!” remarked Fayne Griffiths. “But it really is a lot of fun, a great way to get some exercise with healthy competition in a relatively low-impact sport, as well as an avenue to meet and get to know new people outside of work. ” When she’s not showing her prodigious skill on the pickleball court, Fayne Griffiths runs the office at Lewis and Clark College as the Director of Student and Departmental Accounts. Fayne Griffiths also has an MBA from George Fox University and thirty years of experience in college financial administration. Fayne Griffiths (https://vimeo.com/ End
