Celebrating Our Volunteers – People Who Make a Difference!


Lynne Hildreth
Program Director
If you’ve played pickleball in Pelham, chances are you’ve met Lynne Hildreth—or you’ve benefited from her behind-the-scenes work. As Pelham’s dedicated Volunteer Pickleball Coordinator, Lynne has been the driving force behind building a vibrant, welcoming, and growing pickleball community of over 700 players.

Lynn Gannon
Volunteer Coordinator
As a volunteer instructor, Lynn enjoys watching players of all ages come together, build confidence, and stay active. “This is the one sport where everyone—young or old—can participate,” she explains. “It’s never too late to start.”

Gretchen Brunelle
Fundraising Coordinator
Gretchen is the creative force behind our ever-popular raffle baskets. She tirelessly collects donations from local businesses and community members (often generously contributing from her own household), then assembles stunning themed baskets that bring excitement and heart to every event.

Chris Brunelle
Entertainment Coordinator
Known as “DJ Chris,” he’s the one behind the music, announcements, and good vibes that keep our tournaments and events running smoothly. Whether he’s spinning tunes live or loaning us his PA system when he can’t attend, Chris adds energy, professionalism, and a sense of fun to every gathering.
