We are now in the process of signing up contract renewals for the 2004/2005 season. We have mailed all captains and contract members a renewal letter outlining the process.

We hope to have a list of players from the captains by March 31, so we can bill out deposits. Contract deposits are due no later than May 15. Deposits are $75 for singles and $50 for doubles.

.

You can greatly help in the process by letting your captain know if you intend on playing in his or her contract next year. Once again we offer a 5% discount on contract and membership fees if you pay in full by May 15. Contract prices will remain the same as last year for the 04/05 season.

This years winners are Sue Vail & Doug Smith. Both winners will receive a plaque, a free lesson and most importantly, have their names engraved on our Most Improved Player Plaque that hangs in the lounge

Now that the sun has shown for the past four days, it is officially time to: announce our US Open Bus trip. The day is Tuesday, August 31, which is Day 2 of the Open. We meet at 6:30 am at the Binghamton Plaza. As the US Open has not yet set their ticket prices, we have set a tenative ticket price of $87 for the Arthur Ashe stadium and $80 for a grounds pass, which gets you everywhere but Arthur Ashe stadium. We have 135 tickets available; 90 tickets for Arthur Ashe, and 45 grounds passes.

Tickets go on sale March 1 (now) and will be sold on a first come first serve basis. Ticket sales will only be open to members until April 1. Full payment secures your ticket.
The price includes your ticket, bus transportation there and back (unless you miss the bus!) and Bob deVente’s famous tailgate party in the Shea Stadium parking lot. If you are an ardent tennis fan, this is a must trip.

Our Holiday Chow Swap Shop sale was a success. We raised $175 for Chow and donated a full bin of non-perishable food. Closets were cleaned out, shoppers found great bargains for $5 or less, and money was raised for Chow. We would like to thank all of you who donated old tennis clothes. I have seen many “new” tennis outfits at the club as a result of our sale. Old fashions become new fashions if you hold to to them long enough.

We hope to make this a yearly event. Special thanks to Debbie & Kris for taking on this project, putting in time and effort for a great cause. I am still looking to buy one of those polka dot-collared tennis shirts my wife made me throw out 15 years ago… There is always next year.
