Dues are Due! $15/single and $29/family still remains a terrific bargain. Dues can be given to Neil Bottger or any board member or mailed to ATA, PO Box 684, Alamogordo, NM 88310. Get these in by March 31st to avoid a $5 late fee and get your name on the ATA roster (out in April).
January Play Day was hosted by Steve Schuster and Neil Bottger with 21 players participating. High Scorers were Pien Latham, Ken Smith, and Neil Bottger.
Nearly 2 dozen players turned out for the February Play Day hosted by Pien and Darrell Latham despite Darrell’s recent shoulder surgery! High Scorers were John White and Sabine Fahl.
Thanks to Sandy Sanchez for donating a blower to ATA. It’s great for blowing the large leaves that fall on the courts.
