Meet The Team

Welcome Dink Divas! I'm excited to share this incredible luxury mountain retreat for women who love pickleball, excellent food, and the natural environment of the mountains. 

 

One of the great joys of my life is  hosting women from all over the world at our intentionally small pickleball retreats. My wish for you is that when the pickleball courts go silent for the day, I hope you enjoy deepening friendships, the soothing calm of a mountain morning, and get to reset as a women who feels genuinely seen and cared for during your time with us.  Thank you for being here! 

Hello! My name is Lori and I'm excited to cook a delicious, fun, yet athletic inspired menu to fuel your days of pickleball at the Dink Divas Retreat!

​

As a native Californian, I knew what a difference fresh ingredients made to food. And now, over 20 years in Georgia, my team and I curate and prepare amazing menus for events as large as 700 people! 

I love the intimate experience that the Dink Divas retreat offers and truly enjoy getting to know the ladies I'm preparing food for. We look forward to seeing you soon! 

What else can be said about Mindy Yoder? An OG Pickleball Legend! Not only is she an accomplished pro with over 100 medals to her credit, but she also is an incredible coach and instructor who has impacted and influenced thousands of women over the past 7 years. 

​

Originally from Indiana, Mindy now lives in Pickleball Mecca, The Villages in sunny Florida. Mindy's big wins include a Gold medal at the 2018 Nationals in California, four medals at the 2021 and 2022 US Pickleball Open in Naples and a silver medal in January 2023 in 5.0 women's doubles in the APP Punta Gorda tournament.
