Goodbye to our Co-President

Nancy - we will miss you. You have been such a pleasure to know, always upbeat, happy and positive as the Co-President of the women's tennis at HEB. We wish you well, we wish you happiness, and most of all...we wish you everything you deserve in life.

Determined to Play!

Never let it be said the ladies of HEB tennis are wimps! Here are three of our players who turned out for a match at the Railbender Tennis courts located in Parker soon after a snowfall. Temperature was hovering around 40 degrees, but they still played.

Snow in the Rockies

If the temperature hovers around 50 degrees, you will find HEB ladies on court. One day last week, we cleared the courts of snow, allowed the sun to get to work, and then we played three sets of great tennis. It was one of those fabulous days in the Rockies when the sky is blue, the sun was warm, and the mountain range was covered in snow - just perfect! A passer by kindly took this photo. L-R: Carrie, Carol, Nancy and Liz.

September Host

A very big "thank you" to Joy B. who kindly hosted the September Thursday sessions of our Eagle Bend Tennis Club. You did a great job Joy...and we are all very thankful. Have a wonderful winter and we'll see you in the Spring.

We thank you Anita (senior) and Carrie (super senior) captains of our USTA teams.

Impromtu Gathering

An impromptu gathering for all those tennis players who answered their phones and could make a date at Nemmie's house were not disappointed. Within a few hours' time, she made sandwiches, shrimp and dips, cookies, nuts and other treats. None of us could believe she had brought so many goodies together in such a short time. Thank you Neemie!

USTA 3.5 Ladies' League

The USTA 3.5 ladies at Heritage Eagle Bend did very well this year achieving 2nd place in their league. During a wonderful brunch last week at Jan R.'s house we celebrated the end of the season, "relived" many of the matches we'd played...and had a great time.

Several of our ladies leave for a warmer climate (and to play tennis) during the winter months. We wish them farewell and look forward to seeing them in the spring of 2010!
