Cancer Awareness Tournament - February 2-4

The tennis club showed up in force to support the Tennis Club Cancer Awareness event.  The tennis club, after all expenses are paid will contribute over $1,500 to the cancer charities!!!

Everyone had a great time at the Awards Banquet, with the patio heaters adding the right amount of warmth. The delicious italian menu of lasagna, caesar salad, garlic bread with brownie bites and lemon cakes made for a great meal. 

Sitting around the tables with your tennis buddies sharing a nice glass of wine made it just perfect!







All of our players were winners!  However, Award Certificates were presented to the teams who won the most games:

The highlight of the evening was the raffle drawing that added over $200 to the tennis clubs contribution to this worthy cause. 

Jean McConnell and Mike Kirsch thoroughly entertained the crowd with their quick wit and ad lib comments as they announced the winners from the drawing for each of the raffle prizes.





A special thanks to Jean McConnell and Mary Anderson who both did an exceptional job as co-chairs for this successful event.  They both agree that they could not pull this off without the help of their team:  Bob McConnell, Doug Anderson, Dick Stone, Carolyn Stone, Sieny Kouwenhoven, Mary Williams, Connie Emerson, Darlene Knowles, Marilyn Howisey, Nancy Restum, Mary Sullivan-Pondell, Barbara Stolz, Glenn Arnold, Walt Krahl, Rhoda Zaph, and Kate Perrie.  A heartfelt thank you goes to all of these volunteers for contributing their time to such a worthwhile cause!  Last, but not least, Pete McGannon deserves special recognition for creating the raffle idea with his donation of a new Wilson tennis racquet.
