Be sure to check out the bulletin board at the gazebo for more information as our new co-Presidents will be making a few changes. Leagues are forming and our members are getting excited about our teams for 2009.

Notes from Naples

Shari says "Hi" from Naples, Florida. She said the weather has been great for tennis - playing 3 times a week, but they are in the middle of a drought just like Denver. Although the temperature will soar to 83 degrees this week, it has been the coolest winter she had seen in 8 years.

Shari is looking forward to seeing everyone soon.

Indoor Mixer at Monaco

Our first Mixer of 2009 went well at Monaco. Twenty members and guests of HEB members participated and everyone had a great time. Each couple brought a plate of food to share with others, and they also brought their favorite drinks - we stayed until the club closed.

Thanks for the photo Al!

Pint Size Tennis

On a recent trip to Scotland, I heard the tell-tale sound of a tennis match on the other side of the hedge. I just had to investigate and imagine my surprise to find pint sized tennis courts for children. They were public courts and very busy with little people rushing back and forth as they played the game we all love so much. Needless to say, I found it fascinating and watched them play for a while and took this photo (with permission from Mummy) of course.

Determined Ladies

Winter has been kind to us this year and some of our tennis ladies have taken full “advantage” (sorry about the pun again) of the weather and have been able to play during January and February. Seen in this photograph are: (Left to right) Donna, Violet, Janice and Nancy. The photograph wa taken on February 5th on a rare warm and wonderful day and a great time was had by all.

Chipping Away!

Four ladies from our tennis club were so determined to play tennis last week...they took to ice picks and shovels to clear the ice off the court. They were rewarded with at least two days of glorious sunshine in the middle of January, and were able to take "advantage" (sorry about the pun) of the weather.

Deck the Halls!

Mary Kay and Don B. kindly took time out of their busy schedule to assemble and dress our Christmas tree - and what a good job they did! This year, we have new additions to the decorations. Mary Kay used photographs of our members, put them in frames and added a little ribbon to hang on the tree. They are very cute! Liz helped a little, but the majority of work was done by Mary Kay and Don. We thank you for taking the time, and appreciate your efforts.
