Tennis Dues & Meeting Notes

This is just a reminder for those of you who have not paid their $10 dues. You can give the money to any of the Tennis Club Officers (Larry Place, Gail Hedy, Carrie Sharp or Jim Rogers).

It was decided in our Tennis Club Meeting this evening that we will be using some of our dues money to purchase: Court Numbers, Squeegie Replacement Rollers & Push Brooms.

Also, Jenny Hays has generously offered to buy pads for 3 of our light posts, since some of these light posts were installed too close to the courts and are very dangerous. Thanks so much, Jenny, and welcome back for the summer.

Beginner and Refresher Classes

Some members of our team recall the last time they played tennis. They remember using a wooden racquet that was kept inside a wooden frame!!! These members have turned up for Monday morning practice but feel they have been away from the sport for too long and need help.In an effort to accommodate those members of HEB who want to get back into tennis after a lengthy absence, or for those who have never played and want to learn tennis for the first time in their lives, the tennis club is offering special beginner’s sessions.Gail Hedy, co-president of our tennis club said “We have lessons on Tuesdays @ 11:00 a.m. Larry & Jenny Lindsay are the volunteers who are giving those lessons. Their first lesson will be this Tuesday, June 5th. We already have 4 people who are signed up to take that lesson.We also have lessons on Wednesday mornings @ 8:00 a.m. These lessons are given by Jerry Wagner and Carrie Sharp. So far, one person has signed up for that lesson. We want to encourage everyone who is interested to come to these classes.”

Women and Men’s Tennis Event

On Sunday, June 3rd, the tennis season officially began with a fantastic afternoon of tennis with mixed doubles followed by a Pot Luck Supper. Everyone contributed a dish to the table and it blended nicely with the food and drinks that Gail and Ron supplied.All in all, it was an excellent afternoon and evening. We very much appreciate Gail and Ron (pictured) for hosting the event – we all had a wonderful time. Many thanks!
