Memorial Day Weekend Mixer, May 26 - May 28 This is one of our most popular events and an excellent opportunity for our 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.
Event hosts are Leslie Hawkes, Candy Gleim and Molly Rosenquist.
The Tournament Director is David Wickman. 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. You can sign up on the club bulletin board or
here.
FYI American Treescapes will be performing tree pruning and some tree removal along the southwest treeline of the club (near the corn field). Don't be alarmed if you see some heavy equipment along the treeline.
The BRC Wednesday Evening Open Begins May 9 Courts 1 – 3 are again reserved every Wednesday from 6:30 – 8:30 PM for BRC members with USTA ratings of 2.5 – 3.5. Doubles play and player/team rotations will be practiced. May 9 is special as it is in the middle of Mothers and Nurses weeks, and we hope to see you on the courts.
Shelley and Ron Geib will be your hosts. Balls and post-tennis snacks are provided by the participants
