Tennis Talk 12/15/22
We have been good all year. We played when the sun burnt our skin, when it rained, when our muscles cried out in protest to all the abuse. We persevered and won tournaments. We deserved a good Holiday Party, and we got one!
The “Jingle Jingle It’s Time to Mingle” Committee worked relentlessly, planning, organizing, wrapping tons of gift boxes to put under the tree. You might think it is impossible to wrap a gift like joy, good spirit, holiday cheer. Not for them. The center pieces on the tables were works of art worthy of display at De Young!
Many thanks to Linda Alejandro- DuMont, Tina Parsley, Barbara Moore, Liz Kung, Andrea Alvarez, Mary Ringel and all the others who pitched in. You set the mood and the tone and we, being good team players, followed through. We mingled, we ate like champions and drank to the point we felt confident that we looked graceful on the dance floor.
The party gave us a chance to see old friends and to make new ones. We shared memories of glorious moments on the courts in 2022. Putting on the wall slides of all the heroics was a brilliant idea. Our lovely President , Peggy Seidel, enlightened us with the exciting plans for 2023. We learned that there are better things ahead and another chance for some of us to get it right: new website, tennis lessons, new tennis teams.
The party was definitely a memorable success full of glitter, laughter and fun.
