October/November

October Cottonwood tournament was held October 16th & 17th, the weather was terrific for tennis, thank you to all that helped during this weekend. Congratulations to all the winners.

         

The Youth Camp is still going strong. Evelyn and Janet would like to say a "great big" THANK YOU to  some of the High School kids that have been coming out and volunteering with us. Lily Burling, Kiah Westover, Tyden Spencer and Tristen Montoya, they truly have been a blessing and the kids are really enjoying getting to know them. FYI: We will not meet the week of Thanksgiving, we will meet the first 2 weeks in December which will wind up our Fall Youth tennis program. 

NOVEMBER is election month. As you all know we stopped play days because of Covid-19. This year we were able to replace them them with several ATA Exchanges and they have been going very well. The Annual election meeting will take place at the tennis courts on December 11th. There are 2 positions that will need to be filled, please let your current board know if you are interested in putting your name in, you can also email atatennis@gmail.com. Further details will be given at the Annual Meeting, and/or by email.

 

Soon after the Annual Meeting / tennis play, a Voting email will be sent to the Membership with the Slate of Nominees, and repeat instructions about voting.  Once the votes are officially tallied, the Membership will be notified of the results by email. 

 

After the Annual Meeting we will have tennis play—either the usual or if there is a larger crowd we could do a Game Day as we had last year. Turkey and Ham prizes will be given out, and this may hinge on individual scores achieved during tennis play. Please come for a good time for one and all !!

The last 2 years during this Pandemic have certainly changed the way we have gone about our tennis days. Not having "play days" and large celebrations on or off the courts has been challenging for everyone and some more than others don't understand why we as your board have been diligent in following the guidelines put into place by our Governor, SAFETY has been our main concern, we can only hope that 2022 will be a healthier, happier year for everyone.
