Luncheon Group

The ladies of HEB tennis met last week for a wonderful get together. Both captains from the 3.0 and 3.5 teams were in attendance, and much of the conversation was devoted to the upcoming Sectionals in Vegas. Following are the flights for each team:

Our 3.0 Super Senior team plays on March Friday, March 9-11:00 A.M. vs. Idaho and 3:30 vs. Nevada. Sat (March 10) we play at 12:30 vs. Idaho and 3:30 vs. Nevada. Evidently, it's a "double round robin" and the team with the best record moves on to Nationals.

Our 3.5 Super Senior team plays on Friday, March 9 at 11:00 am; Saturday at 8:00 am and 2:00 pm; and Sunday at 9:30 am.

Teams in Training

Never let it be said that our teams have not worked hard throughout the winter months to represent Heritage Eagle Bend, and indeed the whole of Colorado at Sectionals. Both 3.0 and 3.5 teams leave for Las Vegas the first week of March, and anticipate some hard matches. The captain's 3.0 team Carrie S. takes her team to Highland's Ranch to practice, and Carol C. team practices at Meadow Creek Tennis Club.  The teams are unbeat, determined and excited. Flights, rooms, and complicated schedules ferrying our members back and forth from the airport have all been arranged. At least one HEB member who resides in the area throughout the winter months will be having a party for our ladies. We wish our teams the best of luck.

When Shari. S. isn't on the tennis court, she is spending time with her family. Here she poses with her son Brian, owner of FrameDeArt.  Brian presented the Governor with a very unusual picture of Denver which he personally framed - it was gracefully accepted.

The event took place at Duffy Rolls on south Broadway and was hosted by Sunny Roseman a conservative talk show host. Shari thoroughly enjoyed the day, and commented that Governor Hickenlooper "has done a great job of responding to some very difficult problems in Colorado."

The Gathering Place Fund Raiser

Three ladies from HEB tennis club attended a sale at Jan R. house on December 9th from 9:00 until noon. To date, our tennis buddies and others from our community have raised over $400.00 for The Gathering Place, the only daytime shelter for women and children in Denver.

Our Christmas Tree

Although this photograph is a little blurred...our Christmas Tree looks very festive in our "regular" corner at the HEB Clubhouse. Liz and Jan struggled with the lights and decorations, but also laughed a lot as they assembled it.

When They're Not Playing Tennis

Over the last few months, several ladies from HEB have knitted items that were sold at a fund raising event at The Gathering Place, the only daytime shelter for women and children in Denver. We are glad to report that we raised a considerable sum for the center.

"Texas Hold "Em" - A New Way!

When Mona Miller isn't on the tennis courts, she can be found playing a variety of card games. She is so enthusiastic about "Texas Hold "Em" and a new way of playing that particular game...that she has decided to provide lessons starting on January 11, 2012. Mona said, "I'm very excited about this new technique, and want to share it with others. It's catching on quickly...especially with women who incidentally are very good poker players. It's different, it's fun, and a great way to spend an afternoon or evening."
You can call Mona at 303-617-4539 for more information.
