News Announcements

Here are the latest announcements from the United States Croquet Association. For even more news, USCA members may also read newsletter USCA Update and magazine Croquet News.

Calling All Mallets!

Do you have one or more spare mallets you are no longer (or rarely ever) using? The CFA needs about 30 or more additional mallets to be able to accommodate large corporate groups (perhaps 120 people) with a mallet for each person.

Since the mallet will be donated to the CFA, its fair market value is tax deductible. We give you a tax receipt for the donation and you value the mallet for your deduction. We can even accept and fix up broken mallets.

You unclutter your closet or garage and get a tax deduction and the CFA saves money buying mallets! It's a win-win!

We will also accept 9-wicket equipment as we have added 9-wicket courts and will be hosting tournaments, classes, and games.

Give Sandy Coto a call on 561-478-2300 X2 to make arrangements, or just drop it/them by the National Croquet Center.

Many thanks... David McCoy.
