November Newsletter

Hello members –
 
As you know we published the November schedule early so you could plan your play accordingly.  Jim Valleskey’s clinics are starting tomorrow; they are full except for one Beginner slot on Mondays.  Please reply if you’re interested.
 
If you haven’t picked up the sticker for your paddle, please find Jim or Terri C. at the West courts Monday-Wednesday-Friday mornings.  We will have stickers available on Saturday morning, November 13.
 
Also on Saturday, November 13 we will be hosting the annual Food and Toy Drive benefiting FH Extended Food Bank and Toys for Tots.  Flyer with details is attached and will be posted at the courts.  Drop off will be from 7:30am until 10:00am at West courts.   
 
After this month’s Orientation on 11/13 the next one will be February, no December, no January.  We will evaluate the frequency going forward.
 
Now for the fun stuff!  Round Robins and Tournaments return in January and another round of Jim V’s clinics.  As previously, Intermediate Round Robin will be Tuesday afternoons, Advanced will be Thursday afternoons.  We are also going to offer a Beginner’s Round Robin, dates TBD.   Last season we had planned to host both Intermediate and Advanced Tournaments but canceled out of an abundance of caution.  We are going to host these in January.  We are changing the format to pick-your-partner mixed doubles.  This is something members have asked for and ensures we’ll have the same number of men and women.   We will have full details and registration open for all the events in December.
 
See below for the November birthdays!
 
See you at the Courts!
