Hi to all of you fun girls on our tennis team. It is Jean checking in from Las Vegas. I'm playing lots of tennis. The weather is in the high 70's unusual for this time of year. It cools off at night now but still shorts weather in the day time. I miss all of you and think of you often.
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. Jean D.
*****************************************
Winter tennis is "Summer Tennis" here in Hawaii and its hot! I am playing three times a week, and that's plenty as it takes a while to acclimate. Fun times though and my Monday/Wednesday groups are all really good and keep me on my toes. It sounds like weather has been good in Denver for your guys to continue playing through November. That's super!
Miss you guys and wish you a great Thanksgiving. Elinor N.

A Message from the Foothills
Here at Sun City Vistoso, nestled in the foothills of the Catalina Mountains, our active adult retirement community has many, many activities. We have 8 tennis courts. The ladies play on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. There are two groups. There is the 8:00 AM group, and at 10:00 we call it "advanced". That's where I play. We have another group, smaller, that only uses two courts, and they play later in the day - they are really advanced. There is our annual women's tournament coming up the end of this month. It is set up to go up both sides of a ladder. In other words, if you lose a match, you get pushed to the other side. Last year my partner and I won the "other" side!!
We will probably visit with Jenny and Larry L. over Thanksgiving weekend, as we'll head up to the Phoenix area to spend the holiday with Al's son. And, we'll be playing tennis, doing dinner, and then playing bridge with Ron and Penny S. this month. I'll be going out to Heritage Highlands (Heb's sister community) and will try to locate John and JoAnn.
Take care up there -- and keep warm.
Happy Thanksgiving! Lynne N.

Tennis Witches' Luncheon
Photo: Left to right. Liz, Corky, Jenny, Carol and Gail.About 75 witches and others donned their costumes to attend a Witches' Luncheon on October 31st. The tennis group had their own "witches table"and we are pleased to say we think we represented our club very well. In fact, Corky was chosen to go through to the finals in the "Best Witch Contest" but unfortunately lost to a witch who had one eye in the middle of her forehead! Anyhow, a good time was had by all and some even took advantage of having their fortunes read by palm readers and Tarot cards.

Update on Tennis News at HEB
For some unknown reason, our contribution to the HEB Magazine was not included in the October issue. In an effort to keep you all informed, I decided instead to post it on our blog. Please note that I have removed any personal information.
Events
The Eagle Bend Tennis Club Mixer held on September 20th was a great success. Approximately 30 members participated on a beautiful Saturday afternoon. The day finished with an excellent buffet supper at the Eagle Nest Restaurant. Even those members, who could not play tennis in the afternoon, came and joined us for the evening event.
During the winter months, we will have an indoor Mixer, probably in February 2009. More details to follow.
We would love your help! A nominating committee has been formed to approach likely candidates for positions on next year’s Board. There are also several positions available for the various committees that run our tennis programs. Please, if you can help in any way, we would love to hear from you. Contact Jan or Ron and they will put you in touch with the nominating committee.
Tennis Leagues
Our leagues have finished for 2008, but watch out early next year when we will be recruiting players.
Evening Tennis
Wednesday evening tennis has dropped off a little due to the time of year, but those wishing to play should still turn up at 7:00 PM. To learn more details please contact Marlene or Hugh.
Women’s Tennis
Due to the cooler weather, both Monday morning and Thursday morning tennis now begin at 9:00 AM. Both are “drop-in” sessions. During the winter months, the tennis ladies meet monthly at the Eagle Bend Eagle Nest Restaurant – just to keep in touch.
Men’s Tennis
Saturday and Tuesday are averaging about eight men using two courts.
They meet at 9:00 AM and sometimes have lunch after tennis.

The program for beginner/refresher tennis has finished for this year although members are encouraged to play on Wednesday morning at 9:00 AM on court #4.
