Drop in tennis on Thursday was just that...drop in! Seven ladies turned out on a not so warm morning and watched as the cold front swept in. Jackets were needed. The weather did not cooperate until much later in the day. We played "Australian" on court #2 and rotated our players. It was a fun morning.
Starting next week (Oct), HEB ladies can expect drop in tennis on Monday and Thursday to begin at 9:00 AM.

Come and Join Us for Fall Tennis!
Front: Gigi
Middle: Sosanna and Carrie
Back: Jan
I've agreed to be women's tennis coordinator for one more year, but it is disheartening to have these wonderful courts on beautiful days only one fourth full! Please come out and join us, they're free and waiting for players! Maybe now that golf is almost over we'll get more of those girls on Thursdays!
Hope to see you on the HEB courts!
Carrie Sharp, Women's tennis coordinator

Needless to say, the group is excited about representing H.E.B. in Las Vegas next March, and tentative plans were discussed and drawn up in regard to both travel and hotel accommodations.
Once again, the 3.0 super senior ladies will be going to Las Vegas. It's amazing to think that in the relatively short life of our club...that we are sending two teams to represent H.E.B. but more than that -- they are representing the whole of Colorado! We are so proud of our gals.

East vs West Tournament Trophy
As most of us know, there's a natural and friendly competitive edge to the East vs West tournament every year. At the regular meeting last night, Larry D. presented the duly engraved tennis plaque to John P. who accepted it with a shake of the hand--amidst lots of cheering, hand clapping and "wait until next year" comments.
Larry brought the 16 members who attended the meeting to order, and asked for volunteers to help run the tennis club in 2012. Several people stepped forward, and I'm glad to report that all positions have been filled. We thank the generosity of those people for without their help, our tennis club would simply not exist.

Our HEB Men Complete at Districts
Not only did our super senior women's 3.0 and 3.5 HEB teams compete at Districts, win and will compete in Las Vegas in March of next year...our senior men's 3.5 team competed yesterday at Monaco and did extremely well. They play again this weekend and, if they qualify, will go on to Regionals in Boise, Idaho, in two weeks! Not much time for them to practice, but watching them play yesterday...it didn't look as though they needed much practice at all. There were a couple of "nail-biting" moments during tie-breakers -- but they were fun matches to watch.
We wish our HEB men all the luck in the world this weekend -- please watch this space for more information.
