We are enjoying some wonderful weather and the courts are getting extremely active. I noticed the Sunday couples tennis and champagne celebration sign up sheet for this week was packed and last I checked the Wednesday night couples sign up sheet has also filled all of our courts. Saturday round robin also had full sign up sheets. It is great to see a lot of activity on our courts! Please remember, if you would like to set up a permanent court time you can call Mark or me at 6459 and we can set it up for you. Permanent court times are available starting at 11 AM except for times when organized play has been scheduled. And, as always, you can reserve a court at www.reservemycourt.com one week in advance. If you are having any problems getting registered or getting your court reserved let me know.
Important – Walt Krahl informs me that he and Glenn Arnold will be putting up the wind screens this Tuesday, January 3rd at 9AM. As always, this goes very fast when we have lots of volunteers. So, if you can help us out, please show up at the tennis courts at 9AM with a ladder if you have one. It will be very much appreciated and with more people the job will go a lot faster.
All of our court separators have new sun screen covers installed which provide better sun blockage than the old covers. Thanks to Walt and Glenn for getting this taken care of.
Soup and Salad Social 1/8 in the San Tan Room 5:30 PM- Time Change - I am double booked and, as I don’t ask much, I do have to ask your understanding that I need to move the Soup and Salad Social start time to 5:30 pm. I will probably not get there until 6 pm but please start without me. Patti Blessen, our Social Chair will get you started. We will have tables for the salads ( whatever side dish/salad you choose, even the ever popular deviled eggs fit in this category). The soup crock pots will be located on the counter top so we can use the outlets. Please bring enough to feed 6-8 people. The club will provide bread and dessert. Please bring your own plates, bowls and utensils. As always we will provide coffee but if you would prefer another beverage please bring it (byob). The sign up sheet will be posted until Saturday morning 1/7. Please help our volunteers and at least let them know you plan on attending by signing up. If you decide to go at the last minute please call Patti Blessen at 6967 (520-876-6257). This is a great opportunity to connect with your tennis friends who have just arrived as well as a chance to meet some of the new players. Also, if you have yet to pay your dues, this is your chance to get this done. Dues are still only $15 per couple or $10 per individual. We appreciatel your support of our tennis club. I look forward to seeing everyone as well as some of our newer members this coming Sunday.
Upcoming events
Tennis Lessons will be starting in January – Every Tuesday starting at 2pm and they are FREE!!! As soon as I hear from Skip I will let you know when this will get started.
Club Team Tennis – The response for club team tennis has been amazing. We also have teams coming in from Robson and Mission. The Thursday tennis club happy hours will take place at 4 pm after club team tennis and is open to those playing in club team tennis, spouses and tennis players who are not playing in club team tennis. Please plan on bringing an appetizer to share and your own adult beverage. The sign up sheet for club team tennis is still posted but get your name on the sheet soon as it will soon be coming down. If you are not yet in the park but would like to participate in the January session (January 12, 19 and 26) please let me know by responding to this email. If you want more information on club team tennis, please see the attachment.
Cancer Awareness Tournament [February 1st (ladies), 2nd (men) and 3rd(mixed)] – Jean McConnell and Mary Anderson are already starting to plan for this wonderful charitable event. The dinner afterwards will include a raffle and for some of the larger items, an auction. Please let Jean (7066) or Mary (6259) know if you are artistically talented and have something you created to donate, or if you have an item you would like to donate to this extremely worthwhile cause. This tournament is always a lot of fun so keep your eyes open for the sign up sheets which will be posted this month.
