The Fun Mixer 2023 on Friday, July 21 was a great success thanks to everyone. A special thank you to all those who helped Harry and me organize this event from the start. It was our first time taking home the Mixer Black Binder.
Thank you to all the ladies who helped set up and decorate the area, welcome and register all the players with name tags and score cards. And special thanks to those who stepped in to fill in some spots last minute.
We had 24 players filling all 6 courts mixing it up at 4:30 p.m. and another 24 players mixing it up at 5:30 p.m. The viewing stands were filled with spectators most of the time with lots of comments and cheering. We were especially excited to have several new tennis club members participate.
Following the tennis, a delicious BBQ was organized by Linda Dumont, social chairman, and her culinary gang. A very big thank you to Brian Dombrowski for grilling all those delicious burgers.
There is one sad note to this otherwise Fun Mixer. Nancy Spisar took a tumble on the court and hurt her right wrist. …turns out she is having surgery this week! Nancy and our President Randy Shaw will be rehabbing their bodies for the next while since Randy had knee replacement surgery day of the Fun Mixer.
