Although the temperature outside has dropped considerably, some fine tennis weather is still to be had. This season has been an outstanding one and morning tennis and the round robins are still going strong, so come on out if you are still keen to play! The clubhouse will remain open until Thanksgiving. After that time the courts will be maintained and play will continue as long as the weather holds out.
A hearty thanks goes out to to Brent and Allison Hiller of Hiller Realty, for sponsoring all the Junior Grand Slam events this season. This event provided a marvelous opportunity for our younger members to play competitively and develop their skills. It was a very successful program and all the participants had a wonderful experience.
The Waterloo tennis club is again offering our club members a 40% discou
nt off their regular winter rates. Some members took advantage of this offer last year and had a great time on the courts. Please contact John Noble or Richard Bast for further details.Our president, John Noble, extended thanks to Bill for another year of dedication and commitment to making this the best tennis club on the planet. He said, " It sounds grand in scale but I don't think I am far off. Bill on behalf of the board and club members. Thank You!!!! Words alone can not possible describe what you mean to this club. The staff under your direction has been the best we have had since my association with the club. "
John has also made the difficult decision that this will be his last term as Club President. It has become difficult for him to find that healthy balance between work and play and still give the club the attention it deserves. He remarked that It has been a great experience sitting in this position and his passion and dedication to the club remains unchanged. He will still continue to assist in any way possible to keep this the best sports and family facility going.
During his term as president, John has certainly been a very enthusiastic and dedicated president and succeeded in implementing many changes that had a positive impact on our club. We will truly miss the guidance, insight and resourcefulness that he brought to the table. The AGM will be his last formal function as President and he will of course, provide the new President all the resources and assistance to make the transition a smooth one. He realizes that there are some great people at the club that can continue to lead the club in a healthy direction. If you are interested in this or any other board position, please contact a board member.
Bingos will continue to be an important means of fundraising for the club. If you can help out in 2012, please call Steve Fisher at 273 5123.
