Thank you Brenda Carter
Brenda Carter took time out of her schedule on Thursday, after a long 3 set match to spend some time with Alisa, one of young junior players that is headed to St. Louis for the Supers this weekend. She gave great words of encouragement and hit some balls with her! Something she will not forget!

85's Begin Play June 1st not June 2nd
Our entry form that was mailed out states that the 85's division will start June 2nd
**It may begin June 1st** in accordance with the same start times as last year.
I apologize for the confusion.
