Back to the Blog

As per my email to all of you, I will now be posting all news for the Tennis Club on this blog site.

Pay close attention to the "calendar" as this has all the information for club events. I will be adding more details as I learn how to use this new tool.

You can print the calendar if you choose which can make life a little easier.

I would appreciate it if any of you have digital pictures you would like to share, the easiest way for me to transfer them to our blog is if you give them to me on a memory stick which I will return to you. I'm sure some of you have photos of our tennis events.

Here are a few of the photos we took after the Tennis Tournament.

Sorry I don't have any pictures of the Mens winners or the Mixed Doubles.

Take care and stay tuned.

Get your hot dogs here!

Ron Restum, Walt Krahl and Skip Nirenberg traded their tennis racquets for spatulas and tongs and served up some delicious burgers, dogs and sausage to our tennis club members. The March "social" on Sunday, March 16 was a B-B-Q with the side dishes and deserts brought in by the members.

The weather was a little cool and breezy for a picnic...so we ate our meal and enjoyed each other's company in the Sonora Room.

A big thank you to our social committee, headed by Nancy Restum, for putting on such great monthly socials this season!

Whipped cream and a cherry?

The tennis club social committee once again did a good job organizing an event for our members. At the spring general membership meeting on March 7, 2008 we were treated to an ice cream social....we made our own sundaes before sitting down for the meeting.

Mary Anderson and Bill Howisey are choosing their favorite toppings while

Marilyn Howisey waits her turn. Marg Wildeman and

Dave Morgan are already enjoying their treats.

Earline Riggins and Doug Anderson seem to be enjoying their creations.

Then we got down to business. We were called to order by the president, Charlotte Eicher and discussed various matters of business of the club. We also had our election of officers for the 2008-2009 season. Taking their positions will be.....

President .........Charlotte Eicher

Vice Presidents........Jean McConnell and Bob Gibson

Secretary............Mary Williams

Treasurer........Marilyn Howisey

The Executive Board will be meeting soon to go over the budget and committee duties and positions for the coming season.
