Tennis Club Open House – All Villagers Invited
By Sherry Benz
The fun is just beginning! Thanks to Mary & Gerhart Ringel for putting together a delightful Double-Double Switch format for the Prescott tournament. There were 48 players and everyone got to play with 5 different partners! Proceeds from the entry fee and from donations went to the VMA in honor of Phil Prescott. Top winners were Brett Foreman and Brian Dombrowski. Congratulations!
Coming up next is the Tennis Club Open House scheduled for Tuesday, March 29th 1:00-3:00 PM. This event is open to ALL Villagers. Tennis Professional, Brett Foreman, will host the program. Brett has planned “drills, skills and thrills”. There will also be some of the newest racquets for you to demo … come shod in tennis shoes for “on the court” fun. You won’t want to miss our traditional strawberry shortcake and prizes as well!!! All free of charge. Looking forward to seeing you at the courts! Questions?
