Tennis Open House --- a success!

THANK YOU -- to all who showed up and volunteered at yesterday's open house.  We had no idea what to expect in terms of attendance or new membership opportunities.

We did a great job of demonstrating our hospitality and enthusiasm.  All who attended enjoyed a nice lunch skillfully prepared and served by our volunteers.  We did a good job meeting and greeting our visitors and explaining the variety of tennis options we offer to experienced and inexperienced new players.  The ball machines got a good workout by people who did have an interest in seeing how it feels to hit a few balls.  Our "coaching" staff did a great job of providing hands on instruction to several people, and the group who stood by to provide some court time with interested visitors, did a great job of putting them at ease on the courts.  

In the end, we signed on 16 NEW players to our club -- some who have limited experience and many who dusted off their game after several years on the shelf.  That is 16 new dues "paid" members.  And, there are several others who said they will be back to try Social, or our free Tennis Lessons who were very encouraged by the experience.  Hopefully, a few will also be added as new dues playing members in coming weeks.

A big THANK YOU to all who so willingly gave their time and energy to this event.  Without you it would never have happened.  And a very specialTHANK YOU to Sandy Murray who reluctantly accepted the responsibility of organizing and running this event.  You did a Super Job Sandy.

P.S.  You are only as good as the people with whom you surround yourself and your efforts.  You are most welcome, and my thanks cannot adequately be expressed to such a wonderful group of people.       Sandy
