*****IMPORTANT MESSAGE*****
Information about Saturday night. There is a private party in the main clubhouse starting around 5pm on Saturday night at River Hills Club. The back patio (where the tournament desk is) will be curtained off and the tournament desk will move to the tent between B3 & B4. Slew's Place (Bar inside) will be closed and ALL food and beverage service will be stopped at 5:00pm. The Grill and the Teen Wing will be available to escape the cold, but we will not have food service after 5:00pm. Parking will be very challenging and we are asking if possible if the tennis players can park at 1880 Lakeland Drive (white office buildings elevated above the ground) and enter the club property through the indoor center. We will have an extra security guard watching the 1880 buliding. Sorry for any inconvenience. Thank you
