Patio Heater
Update
First, an update on the
missing tennis club patio heater. It was returned. We did find out that it was
mistakenly “borrowed” by a park employee because of a misunderstanding of the
park’s policy. This employee has been dealt with by the park. In addition, as
the lock is gone and the heater is slightly damaged (scratched, misaligned and
somewhat loose where it should not be) Jim Dawson has approved payment to us for
a new heater and a new lock. I have ordered the new heater and it is already
being shipped. So, all is back to normal. Prior to the start of Men’s League
on Tuesday, Jim Weaver turned on a heater and there was quite a crew enjoying
the warmth.

People
Update
-Patti Blessen has been
released from the hospital and is recovering at home back in the park. Please
wait at least until Saturday to call her. The Blessens send their deepest
thanks and appreciation for all of our thoughts and
prayers.
-Mark, my better half, is
going to be MIA at the tennis courts for a few weeks. Mark just had surgery to
fix a hernia. But, he should be back as good as new within the next few
weeks.
Social Tennis – Monday to
Friday 9:30-11:00
Its great to see social
tennis filling up. We have now reserved four courts every day of the week for
Social Tennis. Hats off to our Social Tennis Court Captains for their critical
role in social tennis. A big thank you to the Monday through Friday court
captains: Wayne Black, Mary Sullivan Pondell, Marion Gavin, John Blessen, and
Ted Knowles. John Blessen just informed me he will need to be there with Patti
for the next month so I desperately need someone to volunteer as social
tennis captain on Thursdays for the next four weeks. Your help on this would
be greatly appreciated! Please reply to this email or call me at
6459.
See you on the
courts,
Kate
