Hi
all,
The tennis tournament was
a great success, with 37 teams competing in Men’s Doubles, Women’s Doubles and
Mixed Doubles. Connie Emerson and Penny Mason did a fantastic job. Today was a
bit windy but most of the matches were played. Sadly, due to the weather, we
had to move the dinner to the Saguaro Room but the food was delicous and
everyone had a great time.

Bingo Table and Chair take
down– Monday Evening – Ballroom at 9pm
Our first Bingo take down
is the Monday, February 25th at about 9PM. The more people we have
the faster it gets done. In the past we have been finished in 15 minutes when
we have a good crowd. The chairs need to be folded and placed on the racks.
The tables need to be stacked. If you can fold a chair you will be a great
help. The tennis club will get approximately $700 in expenses reimbursed for
our efforts. So please come out to the Ballroom on Monday night and help
out.
Saturday Night at the
Courts – All tennis club members and friends are cordially invited to
attend
Mark your calendar right
now for Saturday Night, March 9th for one of the most popular tennis
club events, Saturday Night at the Courts. Every couple is asked to dress up in
their finest “black tie” attire (as many of us don’t have formal wear we just
ask for some creative black and white attire) bring a bottle of wine to put on
the wine tasting tables and an appetizer to share. We move tables and chairs on
to Court #6 and we do a lot of wine tasting, snacking and socializing. We will
have some fun tennis to watch during the evening. We close the evening with
coffee and a nice array of desserts. We’ll have more information coming your
way. But for right now, please save the date – its lots of
fun!!

I
think it would be great if we could show our fellow communities the caliber of
tennis at Palm Creek. Remember this is for all levels of tennis from 4.0 to
2.5. You will be playing with teams at the same level. So, when you are
planning your schedule for next season, save these days so we can share our love
of the game with some new and fun loving neighbors.

Update
-Kathy Jensen and Bonita
Morgan are showing off their new knees. Both of them are out and about and are
doing just great.
-Patti Blessen is
recovering from a bout of pneumonia. She stopped by the tennis tournament to
cheer on her friends. Its great to see her doing so well.
Save the date – Sunday,
March 17th 5:00 PM
The annual meeting of the
tennis club will take place in the San Tan Room. It’s a pizza party to thank
all of our members for their support of the tennis club in the 2012/2013
season. We will also be voting on and welcoming the new club officers and
committee chairs for the 2013/2014 season.
As soon as my back gets
better I hope to see you on the courts,
Kate
