Memorial Day Weekend
Mixer Tournament, May 25 - May 27
This is one of our most popular events and an excellent
opportunity for newer members to get acquainted with our club. It's a
good blend of social and competitive tennis. Sign up as a single and our
team of wizards will match you with a partner of the opposite gender so
as to produce a level playing field among those participating (that's
the goal). The one caveat is that you must be available to play on all 3
days.
Food and beverages will be available on all 3 days. Members are
encouraged to bring a dish to share - salads, desserts, fruit, breakfast
food, etc.Social Hosts for the tournament are
Sunny Howard and Amy Turner. Tournament Director is Ron Geib with an assist from David Wickman. Note: On-line sign up has been taken down. If you haven't signed up but still wish to play in the tournament , contact
Ron Geib. You can see the on-line sign up sheet
here.
