Hi
all,
Cancer Awareness
Tournament – It’s a wrap!
This year’s cancer
awareness tournament and dinner/auction/raffle was a tremendous success. Thank
you and hat’s off to this year’s chairs, Penny Jacobsen and Nancy Restum. It
was a great evening, the lasagna and salad was delicious, and the auction not
only had wonderful items but also was very entertaining. And, there were just
so many raffle prizes that almost everyone walked away with something in their
hands. The tables were all decorated and the room was just packed!!! As soon
as we get all the numbers tabulated I will share with you the tennis club’s
contribution to this very worthy cause. Also a huge thank you to everyone who
participated in the tournament, worked on the tournament and dinner, and
everyone who attended the dinner. We could not have done it without
you!

Update
It is with a heavy heart
that I share with you that a dear friend of the tennis club, Carol Heize passed
on Thursday, January 31st. Below are the last two entries made by
Carol’s daughter Lauren in the caring bridge website:
·
Thank you so much for
all the love and support given to my mom and our family. We can not express our
gratitude enough.
Mom's
funeral service will be held Tuesday, February 5 at 11:00 at First
Congregational United Church of Christ, address 2101 16th St, Greeley CO
80631.
Thank you
all for your sweet notes and for your prayers. My mom was an angel on earth and
my lifelong best friend. Thankfully, blessedly, we know where she is and that
gives us great comfort.
As I paused
while typing this message I stop to listen and check that I'm on the same planet
I was on just a couple of hours ago when she was here-it doesn't seem to be the
same place.
When someone
you love becomes a memory. The memory becomes a treasure. She will always be a
treasure to us.
For those of you who have recently returned to Palm Creek I want to share with you the good news that we now have a tennis stringer here are the park. Tennis Club member, Mike Murray, x7488 will gladly restring your racquet. Just give Mike a call and set a time. He generally turns it around the very same day. The rule of thumb on restringing of your racquet is to have it restrung the same number of times in a year equal to the number of times you play tennis per week. So, if you play tennis 3 times a week you should have your racquet restrung 3 times a year or once every 4 months. I have heard nothing but positive reviews from all the tennis club members who have had Mike restring their racquets.
Palm Creek Tennis Tournament – February 21-24
This year’s tennis tournament will be played Thursday – Sunday February 21, 22, 23 and 24. There will be three divisions in each of the Men’s, Women’s and Mixed tournaments. Now is the time to call one of your tennis friends and ask if they would like to team up with you and compete in this years tournament. There will be printed entry forms in the tennis club bulletin board. Connie Emerson and Penny Mason are the chairs for this year’s tournament and I know it will be a great event. But, don’t wait too long as there will only be four teams in each division so get your entry forms submitted as soon as you can. If you have any questions please call Penny at 6603 or Connie at 6030.
Court Maintenance
The additional windscreens arrived and a huge thanks to all the volunteers who showed up to install them. I know I can’t say enough for how much we appreciate all the work done by Glenn Arnold, Bob Fulton and Walt Krahl for all their hard work on court maintenance and keeping our ball machines in working order. Thanks guys!
Tennis Lessons
Just another reminder that tennis lessons are on Tuesdays at 2pm. It is a lot of fun and I always walk away with at least one insight. So, mark your calendar and come on out – its free and its fun!
Hope to see you on the courts,
Kate
