Upcoming Events

Battle at the Bend Tournament on Saturday, July 12th. The “battle” will be between HEB members living on the east and the west side of Gartrell. The day long event will finish with an awards banquet. A sign up sheet will be on our new bulletin board (hopefully installed in the next few days) and will be located by the gazebo at the tennis courts.

Breakfast at Wimbledon on Saturday, July 5th. We are planning to have an authentic English breakfast served as we watch the final matches at Wimbledon. Check out the bulletin board for more details.

Our new Bulletin Board is expected to be installed in the next few days. There will be sign up sheets to reserve courts, information on upcoming events and much, much more. In the meantime, check out the bulletin board behind the Pro shop.

Chocolate Cup Tournament

One of our member at HEB has informed us of a women's only tennis tournament to be held in Vail in June. The organizers are looking for 3.5 players or entire 3.5 teams to compete in a tournament called the Chocolate Cup. Contact Chris Layne, 140 Fairfax Street, Denver, CO 80220. Phone: 303-377-9083 for details. The entry form says it is for 4.0 ladies but it can be used for any 3.5 entrants.

June 1st Summer Kickoff Mixer

We had a great turn out for the Summer Kickoff Mixer & Pot Luck! We had 40 tennis players and about 65 people at our Pot Luck supper. It was a lot of fun and we had some new players attend. This event is always well attended and is a good way for everyone in our community to get together. The afternoon was perfect and we played some great tennis. Everyone brought a dish for the Pot Luck supper afterwards, and a good time was had by all.

Reminder!

We have changed our dates for our Tennis Club meetings from the second Monday of each month to the first Monday of each month. We had a problem with meeting the deadline for our newsletter articles, so we moved the meetings up one week. Therefore, our next HEB Tennis Club meeting will be this Monday, June 2nd @ 7:00 p.m. at the Club House.

We hope to see many of you there.

Battle at the Bend

On Saturday, July 12th, we are planning a "Battle at the Bend" tennis event which will pit East vs. West (of Gartrell). The event will include Men's, Women's and Mixed Doubles matches. It will be an all day event with a tournament type format. All players are encouraged to sign up on the Bulletin Board. The sign up sheet will be available after June 1st.

The captain of the East team is Ron Hedy. The captain of the West team is Jan Rankin.

Afterwards, we will have an "awards ceremony" (including a meal of some sort) with the winning team taking home the trophy and having bragging rights until next year.

Encourage your neighbors to participate, so you can have the best team possible. Keep July 12th open, so you can participate. It will be a lot of fun.

San Francisco - Here I Come!!!

Three cheers for one of our HEB members, Violet Marquez who participated in the Rocky Mountain Senior Games in Greeley, Colorado from May 14-17. Violet won a gold medal in the women's doubles age group from 75-79 years old and a second gold in the mixed doubles age group 70-75. These two wins qualify Violet to participate in the 2009 National Senior Games in the San Francisco Bay Area. Violet said yesterday "San Francisco here I come!!!"

Well done Violet. We are very proud of you and know you will do well in California.
