Work Day to Repair Nicks on Courts
There are numerous nicks in the surface of the courts that need to be fixed. John White is organizing a work day at 9:00 am on Saturday March 17th. He will instruct everyone in repair techniques. This is fairly tedious work, so we need as many people as possible to volunteer.

Making a "Let" Call
Here are some word of wisdom from the USTA site about calling a "let."
If you have no chance for a ball and a ball rolling onto the court would have made no difference, do the right thing -- give the point to your opponents.
One can always make a case that a player could have made some play on the ball when this happens. Technically, players may call a let if the point had not been completed when the hindrance of the stray ball from another court arrived. However, a good sport knows if they had a play or not, and a good sport knows the difference between a legitimate hindrance and taking advantage of a situation.
