August 8...News from the Week

Two trees were donated to the club by Doug Connely. Mike McNutt from the Recreation Center brought a backhoe and , along with Doug, Bill and Phil got them both planted and they look awesome. A thank you was sent to Doug and Mike for their generous donations.

The club's tournaments will be held August 19 and August 20 starting at 8:00am both days. Mike McNutt will be bringing over a few bleachers and Whitey will be bringing his large tent. That should take care of the shade. If you have a small pop-up shade tent, please bring in along for the scorekeepers. To go to the state tournament you need to have two tournaments. This would be an excellent time to get that taken care of. Remember that league counts for one tournament.

The world raffle ticket winners were - Marge Kleick (Nebraska), Pette Kumlin (Wisconsin), RonMiller (Georgia), and Dave Morales (Colorado).

Clean up for the tournaments on August 19 and 20 will be August 18th at 6:30pm. Please... all hands on deck. We need to get our pits cleaned up to leave a great impression on all those that visit the courts.

We are having a problem with people not showing up for league night. Unless an emergency arises or you are called away to work, you are expected to be at the courts on Tuesday night at 7:00pm to play. If you are not there (and you did not call Phil) a sub will be filled in when possible. If the games are not made up by the following Monday they will be forefeited. With everyone not showing up, the standings are almost impossible for Phil to get updated.

Everyone needs to be more aware of the scores that are turned in. In one week, there was a win given to the wrong person and on another sheet the scores were added incorrectly by over 20 points. Please make sure that you look over the score sheets before they are turned in. Phil does not go thru them to make sure they are correct !!!

That is about it.... two weeks left, then state on Labor Day Weekend !!!
