Weekly Update - Monday 1/24/2011

We had a wonderful Soup/Salad social with loads of great food and a large crowd of tennis club members! A good time was had by all! Sieny found a silver goblet when cleaning up after the event. If you lost it, Sieny has it at her park model. You can reach her at 6687.

The February Men’s league sign up sheet has been posted on the Tennis Club bulletin board.

The Cancer Awareness Tournament is on pace to be a great event! We are having an awards banquet following the last session of mixed doubles on Friday, February 4th. The meal is free to all players and their spouses. If you are not signed up to play we would love to have you join us. If you or your spouse have not signed up to play the cost for the meal is only $5 per person. We want to make sure we have the right amount of meals and we want to contribute as much as possible to the cancer awareness funds. Therefore, we are asking for everyone who is planning to attend the awards banquet ( players, spouses and non players), to sign up on the Cancer Awareness Awards Banquet Sign up sheet that is now on the tennis club bulletin board (in the same place where you sign up to attend tennis club socials).

Tennis Club shirts can still be purchased. If you are interested, please let me know. The shirts are Antigua shirts that have a suggested retail price of $60. With the volume discounts afforded to Palm Creek, we are able to offer these quality shirts for $25. Not only are they great for playing tennis but they also make great golf shirts. And the best part is you just wash them (with no fabric softener) and hang them up and they are dry in minutes. I hope to have samples at the Cancer Awareness tournament so you can check out the sizes and place your order. I will only be placing one more order.

The last matches for the January session of Club Team Tennis are going to be played this Thursday, January 27th. If you are not scheduled to play come on out and cheer for your favorites. I will have samples of the Palm Creek Cancer Awareness Shirts and Diane Gaines is offering the sporting clubs special pricing. The t-shirts which are normally $11 will only cost $10 and the Hats and Visors will only cost $8 if you buy them through the tennis club. I will have a sign up sheet and the samples at Club Team Tennis this Thursday and at the Tennis Club Happy Hour that follows.

The Annual Palm Creek Tennis Tournament is scheduled for February 17-20. The seeding tournament will take place on Tuesday, February 15th. Its time to find a partner and sign up to participate in this popular tennis club event. The sign up sheet is attached to this email and there are plenty of sign up sheets available on the tennis club bulletin board. We celebrate the end of this tournament on Sunday afternoon with a pizza party for all tennis club members. If you don’t have a partner but want to participate, let me know.

The updated roster is available on this website. Look on the right column and the third item is “Tennis Roster.” Click on tennis roster and you will see two tabs “2009-2010” and “2010-2011” Just click on 2010-2011 and you will see the entire tennis roster. You can print it from this site if you would like.

A reminder to all court captains, anyone with permanent court time or anyone who has reserved court time that you will not be using - it is important for you to let us know and we will release the courts in our on-line reservation system, reservemycourt.com. As the park is filling up it is critical that we optimize the usage of the tennis courts.
