There will be no tennis this Friday, Saturday and Sunday as we will be donating our court space to the Pickleball Club for their big tournament this weekend. Make sure and stop by to watch the competition. It's great fun.

I have been remiss in attending the Tennis Club happy hour which is held in the Tennis Pavillion every Tuesday @ 4:00.. Sure am glad I remembered. I discovered that Skip Nirenberg has designed a certificate for those who attend 4 tennis lessons.

Skip, Bob, Walt and Rhoda have been doing such a great job with the lessons......................we owe them a big Thank You...............................they are creating our future competition!!!!!

Mission Royale Tennis Club Competition

Please keep the date of 3/21/09 open for some great tennis. We have invited the Mission Royale Tennis Club to join us for a morning of tennis and refreshments.



Our plan is to play two morning sessions; one at 8 a.m. and the second at 10 a.m. This will be followed by a light lunch and a chance to say goodbye for the season to our friends from the other side of Rt. 10.


The format will be best 2 out of 3 full-set matches with Adds. Sets tied 6-6 decided by one more game with no Adds. Estimated match time 1.5 hours, with 15 minutes for warm-up and practice serves.



I have put a sign up sheet on the bulletin board. First come, first served. Since we don't know how many players we will have from each park yet, we will try to fill all 6 courts for each session, but we'll have to see what sort of numbers we are working with. We hope to accomodate everyone which means that you may end up playing with one of the Mission Royale folks. It is meant to be a morning of fun and good tennis. No prizes, no trophies.................just lots of fun.



Please make sure to fill out your ranking as that will aid us in matching folks up appropriately. We had a wonderful time visiting M.R. this past Saturday and I'm looking forward to a great day with them.

Sorry I identified Kate Perrie's partner as Darlene Knowles when in fact it was Mary D. Sullivan-Pondell. I apologize

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.

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!
