1 /5 Luxury Reviews: On November 30, 2024, a post on Facebook invited everyone to attend an event, encouraging participants to bring a friend and emphasizing that paddles were not required. The post stated that young adults were welcome.
However, upon arrival, a gentleman standing at the entrance appeared very uninviting, which made new attendees feel uncomfortable. If this individual feels uneasy around people, it raises the question of why he was positioned at the door to greet newcomers. Events like these require a warm, friendly presence—someone who can make attendees feel welcome rather than inadvertently discouraging them from staying.
This incident took place at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Kennewick, Washington, which hosts a pickleball event every Saturday at 7 PM, according to the post. For those considering attending, I would advise caution.
To the church staff: Please take this as constructive feedback. It might be worth evaluating the individuals you assign to greet attendees, particularly for events aimed at welcoming new faces. A more approachable and inviting demeanor at the door would significantly improve the experience for newcomers. If the goal is to attract new people, then it’s only natural to expect unfamiliar faces to show up.
Thank you for taking the time to read this, and I hope these suggestions are considered for the betterment of the church’s welcoming efforts. Wishing you a great day and continued success with your community events.
