Meet the 2025-2026 Executive Committee
From left to right:
2nd Vice President, Tom Drouillard: A resident of Lakefield, Ontario, Tom has been playing pickleball for 4 ½ years and is currently in Group 4.0+. He arrived in Silveridge three years ago and has brought new ideas to the club. One thing that Tom would love to do in the future is to travel to the Shire and have a pint with some hobbits.
Treasurer, Debbie Nelson: Debbie is a farmer from North Dakota. She has been playing pickleball for four years and is currently in Group 2.5. When she isn’t farming or playing pickleball, she loves to spend her extra time traveling.
Communications Officer, Kathy Port: Kathy is a resident of Fairbanks, Alaska. She started playing pickleball three years ago when they arrived in Silveridge and attended the Intro to Pickleball Clinic. In Fairbanks, summer days are long so she and her husband play pickleball late at night - with no lights. Kathy is currently in Group 3.5. If you don’t find her on the courts, you can probably find her in the lapidary shop.
President, Donna Stensrud: Donna is from Tsawwassen, British Columbia. She has been playing pickleball for 10 years and is currently in Group 3.5. A fun fact about Donna is that she and her husband arrived in Silveridge in November 2015. They came here because her uncle, Harvey Jamieson, was the cook at Silveridge from approximately 2005 to 2015.
1st Vice President, Julie Nosko: Julie lives in Sheridan, Oregon. However, she spent her high school years in Tucson, AZ, where she cultivated her love of the desert. She began playing pickleball when she arrived in Silveridge five years ago and is currently in Group 3.25.
Secretary, Mike Gross: Mike resigned in September 2025.
