SUMMARY:Serving Up Stories: Everything I Need to Know\, I Learned Playing Pickleball-Stories from the Court
DESCRIPTION:Local author\, Rick Broida shares his new book\, _Everything I Need to Know\, I\nLearned Playing Pickleball: Stories from the Court\, Lessons from the Sport_ \,\nfollowed by book signing\, tours of JRec and a Pickleball demonstration. All\nparticipants will receive a free JRec pass. \n**ABOUT** Rick Broida brings 30+ years of “tech-pertise” to Yahoo product\nreviews and best lists\, specializing in speakers\, streaming services\, smart\nhome devices\, TVs\, laptops\, drones and more. In addition to routinely testing\nnew products and services\, he works to simplify the confusing world of tech to\nmake it more accessible to readers. Rick’s consumer-technology writing dates\nback to the days of the Commodore Amiga\, which means he’s not only very old\nbut also very wise (and incredibly modest). He’s worked for CNET\, Lifehacker\,\nPopular Science and Wired\, to name a few\, and runs the Substack @dealsecrets\,\nfocused on money-saving advice. During his off hours\, you’ll almost certainly\nfind him swinging a pickleball paddle. \nSponsored by Henry & Delia Meyers Library\, JRecreation\, Detroit Jewish Book\nFair. \nView event on Jlive: https://jlive.app/events/10050
