Saturday Night at the Courts

It was a beautiful evening for the "social event" of the 2011/2012 Palm Creek Tennis Club Season, Saturday Night at the Courts.

Everyone arrived with their appetizer, bottle of wine and unique "black tie" attire as modeled here by Connie Emerson and our greeter/sommelier, Penny Mason.















Upon arrival there was a lot of  chatting and wine tasting taking place on Court 3.











Everyone was treated to some very inspired "Opening Ceremonies" with the singing of the Canadian and the US National Anthems.











Then the games began!  Special thanks to Ken Civiello, Mary Ellen Halm, Penny Jacobsen, Patrick Leonard (from Mission Royale), Bev Argo and Mark Costello for putting on a fun and exciting competition under the lights.









A big thank you to the many members who came out and made this event an outstanding success.  I have heard from many that it was "the best party ever!"  Here is a sampling of photos of some of the attendees.  Thanks to all of you who sent me photos!









As the evening came to a close and the tennis court lights went out it was a lot of fun sitting around enjoying fresh brewed coffee and  all of the gooey desserts (tiramisu, carrot cake, oreo cake,double chocolate cake, and  boston cream pie, and assorted cheese cakes) under the light of our tennis ball candle centerpieces.  A good time was had by all!








We actually left the courts with everything a mess as it was too dangerous for us to try and pick up in the dark.  The clean up the next morning was something to see - all the tables and chairs were put back under the pavilion before we even got back and within 30 minutes the court 3 was back to being ready for tennis!
