Anyone wishing to schedule court time can call the Pro Shop at 303-400-6700. You need to call them between 7:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. as their voice mail is not active; if you leave a message, they will not return your call. They have a listing of all pre-scheduled tennis matches and events and should be able to help you get courts reserved. Please let me know if you have any difficulties and I will do my best to address these issues.

Usage of bulletin boards
There has been some confusion about our 2 bulletin boards - and deservedly so. The indoor bulletin board will still give presence to our CLUB by all who pass that way. It will be used for any general information and also, the sign-ups for any social activities and any tournaments.
The outdoor gazebo bulletin board will be used to sign-up for any organized weekly tennis, i.e. the group mixers and tournaments; also for anyone wanting to join a USTA team.

Social Committee members needed!
We are in need of volunteers to take over for Gail and Ron as our Social Directors next year. No "couple" has stepped up to that task, as yet. It has been suggested that if we do not get a volunteer couple to take over for Gail and Ron, then the board will schedule for the next season and request volunteers to take these individually. If anyone would like to step up and volunteer to take over the entire season as our Social Committee, IT WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. WE NEED YOUR HELP.

Looking for a tennis partner?
It has been suggested that we post the names of our tennis players, their ranking and their contact information. If one wanted to play tennis and did not know who to call, the presidents would have that information available - good for all by generating new friends and generating more "casual" play on our courts.
If you are interested, please send me your name - ranking - email address - telephone number or numbers and we (Nancy and I) will start making up this list.

Wednesday night tennis
Wednesday night tennis - We had no interest to speak of on any organized tennis for that evening, so as of right now, it would just be a "drop in" format at 6:00 p.m.

Courts, viewing area, and equipment
Tennis Courts - Per Jeff Powles, our courts will be patched by Friday, May 22, so we should be able to host any USTA matches and also don't have to worry about stepping in a hole and injuring ourselves.
Tennis Court Viewing area with benches - As of 5/19/09, HEB is "still a few weeks out" on completing that project, per Jeff Powles.
Equipment:
Two new brooms (and labeled as property of Eagle Bend Tennis) have been purchased for use on our courts and we will probably be purchasing at least one new squeegee. We have sent a note to HEB requesting their help in blowing off our courts and keeping them free of debris. So far, I do not believe that has happened. I will stay on top of this and talk to Eric (head golf pro) this week to see if we can make this happen.
Two ball hoppers have been purchased (also labeled Eagle Bend Property) and will be placed at our courts. One for courts 1 and 2 and one for courts 3 and 4. We will be purchasing enclosed containers that will fit under the benches on the courts. These containers will be used for "old" balls. Our tennis players will then be able to go up to the courts and practice serves, various shots, etc. with the equipment on site and available for use by all.

sign up for Senior men's USTA tennis teams
Even though our "Super Senior" teams have yet to start their matches, we already need to think about forming our "Senior" teams. Teams need to be formed by June 12th and matches start the week of July 20th.
Sign up sheets are on the outside "gazebo" bulletin board. There is not a big hurry in signing up, but the next time you're near the tennis courts, you might want to get your name on the list.
Good luck to all the Super Senior teams next week for their first matches.

Details about upcoming spring mixer
It's that time of year again for our annual Summer Kickoff Tennis Mixer and BBQ. The Mixer is scheduled for Sunday, May 31st, with tennis from 1:00 - 4:00pm. It's a little earlier in the day this year, so maybe we can avoid the late afternoon winds and rains. We will have a BBQ on the Patio at the Club House immediately following the tennis (BBQ from 4:00 - 6:00pm).
Everyone of all levels is welcome. We will have Mens Doubles, Womens Doubles, and Mixed Doubles. This is always a fun, social event and a good way to kick off tennis at HEB. Non tennis playing spouses/significant others are welcome to attend the tennis as spectators and to attend the BBQ.
The tennis is free and the BBQ is $12/person. You just pay for the BBQ that day. The menu will be: BBQ Pork Sandwiches, Chicken Breast Sandwiches, cole slaw, iced tea & lemonade. There will be a cash bar available.
Please sign up on the "indoor" tennis bulletin board in the hallway behind the pro shop. We hope to see many of you there again this year.
