Hurricane
Relief Party
Saturday
night, October 8 - Just a reminder - We will be having a fundraiser
to assist the people of the Gulf Coast that were made to suffer
such a horrendous fate at the hands of Hurricane Katrina. Come join
us at Wickertree for an evening of fun and relaxed tennis. We are
doing it pot luck style - so whip up your favorite dish and show
it off at Wickertree. I will provide pop and adult beverages. Cost
is $25 per person with all proceeds going to the American Red Cross.
They are well suited to distribute the funds where it is needed
most in the region. Please sign up at the front desk or call and
give us number of how many will be attending. We will have Penn
State versus Ohio State on the big screen TV for all the non tennis
playing family members.
Friday
Night Live
Back
and rolling right along. Hours are 8 to 11 PM for $15, though a
lot of people start smacking the ball at 7:30, and it is an awesomely
great deal. Open to everyone, membership not required, so invite
your friends and neighbors so they can get a good look at Wickertree.
In the past, some teams have used Friday Night Live as a semi team
practice to ready themselves for Sunday matches. We will match you
up by ability levels, and if a lot of people come from one team
- we will try to keep them together. Though it is a good way to
scout new people and add to your teams.
USTA
Leagues
This
weekend will be our first full schedule of matches. The past two
weekends have been kind of spotty. Congratulations to the following
teams that blasted off with great starts and are leading the way!!
in first place in their divisions with 2-0 records already: 3.5
Career Women WT#1 captained by Kim Simon, 3.5 Career Women WT#2
captained by Pat Rothney, 4.0 Women captained by Eileen Pewitt,
4.0 Men - captained by Hesh Green. Way to go. The rest of us are
all Wickertree green with envy !!!!!
USTA
League Reminder
Every
team has their own team page on www.wickertree.com. Get back to
me with info you want to put on your page, announcements, parties,
great matches, practices, whatever. There is also a link on your
page to the USTA page which has your standings, roster and match
schedule on it.
Fast
Feed
Great
workouts and a super preparation for team matches, though they need
not be if you are just looking for a taxing cardiac session. MenŐs
fast feed is Saturday mornings from 8:30 to 10 AM and ladies on
Sunday morning at the same time. Please make sure to sign up at
the front desk or call and get your name on the list so we have
the correct number of pros on hand.
Ladies
Daytime Leagues and 2.5 Team
Next
on our list of new things will be more intra club leagues (just
within Wickertree members) and to get 12 women ready to take no
prisoners in the new 2.5 league starting in January. Contact Janine
at the club if you are interested in either.
You
are the best, And, please send me anything you want to put in the
newsletter, Arnie (email address wickertree2@aol.com).
