Indoor Tennis Mixer

We are changing the date of the Indoor Tennis Mixer @ CAC Monaco. It was originally planned for January 26, but it will be moved to Saturday, February 23rd. The time and cost is the same (6:00 - 9:00 p.m. - $12.00/player). We hope this date works better for most of you. There is a new sign up sheet on the bulletin board. If you'd like to, you can just reply to this email and I'll put your name on the sign up sheet on the bulletin board (or you can sign up yourself). If you were signed up before, please let me know again if you plan on playing on the new date.

If you have already paid, I can either keep your money and put it toward this mixer or I can return your money if you cannot play.

This gives us a little more time to put this together, but I would still appreciate your response sooner, rather than later, if possible.

Thanks,

Gail Hedy

Our Tennis Tree

Once again, our ladies have done an excellent job of decorating our Christmas tree. Last year, some members got together to make tennis related tree decorations using tennis balls, ribbon and other embellishments for our very first Christmas tree at HEB. One member searched the net and found tennis ball Christmas tree lights and even found fabric that resembled netting. She used the fabric to make decorative ribbons that were used on the tree last year and again this year. Congrats to our tennis ladies for decorating our tree so beautifully!

As a reminder...since the weather is often nice enough to play even through the winter, Gail has suggested that we use the 50 degree rule to play as we did last winter. When the temperature is around 50 degrees (or above!) we should call each other to see if a match or two can be organized. Gail will notify members by email if a scheduled meeting is organized.

Keeping in Touch

We understand from Nancy that her mother regularly checks our blog for news on our tennis club at HEB. Ruby is 97 years old (can you believe that?) and has been using the internet for the last five years. Ruby, we welcome you to our site and love the fact that you are interested in our events.

Four ladies turned out this morning for our Thursday session and Nancy played a great game. We are thoroughly enjoying the beautiful weather here in Colorado because we know how quickly that can change. We take every opportunity we can to enjoy this glorious weather.

Keep checking our site Ruby. We'll 'post' again soon. By the way, we all think it's fantastic that you are "surfing the web" - congratulations to you!

Fall and Winter Tennis

Hi Ladies,

It looks like the weather is supposed to be nice on Thursday, the 8th. Let's plan on playing tennis at 9:00 a.m. With the time change it'll seem more like 10:00, so the sun will be a little higher and the weather should be a little warmer. See you then.

Year End Party

The senior team celebrated this past week with a party at Jan's house. Wine, appetizers and lots of fun and laughter were squeezed into a busy week. Carol, our captain (far left) enjoyed opening her gifts as we all thanked her for a job well done.

Year End Mixer

Can you believe that our season of tennis officially ended? Where does the time go? In any event, the year end mixer was a great success with some good tennis, hotdogs, BBQ chicken and a little liquid refreshment on the patio at HEB. About 25-30 people attended and I'm told that everyone enjoyed themselves.

Blue Skies!

The weather was absolutely gorgeous on Thursday - blue sky, slight breeze and the temperature was perfect! Six ladies turned out for our last Sign Up session, so we played some singles and doubles for almost two hours. Everyone really enjoyed the morning.

Don't forget that from now on...we meet on Monday and Thursday at 9:00 AM. Both days will be on a "Drop In" basis (no signup sheets until next Spring) - see you on court!
