For almost five years, Gail and Ron Hedy have been our coordinators for HEB tennis. As with most things in life, nothing lasts forever. Gail is stepping down immediately from all tennis activities, while Ron will finish the year out as President. Needless to say, this is a blow for HEB tennis players, but the Hedy’s decision is final. We thank them for their dedication to the sport, their undying love of the game, and the constant enthusiasm and inclusion of all members from beginners to advanced players.
We are glad to report that 40 members attended the meeting at the clubhouse on August 2, 2010. It was a fantastic turnout, and many, many issues were discussed. Members kept raising their hands to offer solutions to the problems, and even shared ideas for the future. Ron said, “It was the best meeting we’ve ever had.”
Re HEB tennis 1011, we are glad to announce that some members volunteered immediately for the positions of President, Treasurer, Secretary, but that some slots are still open. Ron will be sending emails describing those positions that need to be filled. One is a paying job, so please respond to his email if you are interested.
On a more personal note, I thank Gail and Ron for their help and guidance over the last three years. They have helped me turn a lifetime of squash and racquetball into a “not so bad tennis player.” Without their help (and others), I doubt I'd be playing tennis today – my thanks to you both.
