11/09 – President’s Message

Posted by HWTA on November 2, 2009

Is rain spelled HWTA? So it would seem from the number of events that we have had this year that also involved rain! The Roselyn Donnelly Charity Tournament finally ended almost two weeks after it began due to the unusual rain that we had in September. Congratulations to Pam Vickroy and Cindy Reaves for organizing (and decorating!) everything beautifully. It is such a difficult job to keep everyone happy when matches have to be rescheduled, but Pam and Cindy, with Irene Wisner’s help, managed everything as if they did this every day.

Linda Baumbach and Sue Chatham and their committee also deserve praise for the job they did for the Super Senior State USTA Tournament. Every player with whom I spoke mentioned the player bags and the food! HWTA ladies have developed quite a reputation for their hospitality.

Special thanks to Melissa, Morgan and Garrett Jose and Dottie Robinson for their help with the Sports Expo this year. We had a lot of fun letting kids hit with foam balls and the small net.

Penny Sumners put together the shadow box of HWTA memorabilia and it is wonderful! If you have not seen the results, check it out upstairs at HTC. Thanks also to everyone who donated items used in the shadow box.

Remember to vote for Most Improved and Sportsmanship! The list of nominees is inside. Contact Sandra Vallely to vote.

8/09 – President’s Message

Posted by HWTA on August 12, 2009

Thanks to the hard work of Faye Chassay, Margaret Craig and Linda Winters, we have an outstanding slate of officers for 2010. There are some new faces as well as experienced officers; a mix of 3.0s, 3.5s and 4.0s. I know that they will lead HWTA to even more success in 2010. The list of nominees is inside; voting will take place at the September Membership Meeting.

The Membership Meeting will be held at HTC on Wednesday, September 9. It will be a “Picnic on the Patio” – HWTA will supply drinks and dessert, but you will need to bring your own sandwich or salad for lunch. We will gather at 11:00, with lunch at 11:30; the meeting and program will follow. The program for this meeting will be representatives from our charity for 2009, EveryBody Can Play. Come to the meeting and find out more about plans for this playground intended for all ages and abilities.

Congratulations are in order for Connie Keltner and Penny Sumners who planned and organized our first experience in hosting the Southern Senior Cup Tournament. From the congratulatory notes received after the tournament they did an exceptional job!

2009 Fall Tournament – PLAYGROUND

Posted by HWTA on August 12, 2009

Pam Vickroy and Cindy Reaves are planning a fun tournament for the weekend of September 17 through 20. This tournament will feature a luau theme complete with tiki décor and leis. Remember that in the fall, the men are invited to join in for mixed doubles, so it should be a great time for everyone.

Annually, HWTA chooses a community charity to support with proceeds from the fall tournament. This year the committee chose the PLAYGROUND EveryBody Can Play as the worthy recipient. The brainchild of former mayor Loretta Spencer, a state-of-the-art all-access playground seemed like a good fit for women’s tennis. After hearing details from Greg Patterson at a meeting earlier this year, the committee was sold. Brochures are available from Karen Mitchell for those wanting to know more or make contributions.

Karen Mitchell and Pam Vickroy have been actively securing some sizable checks from individuals and local businesses alike for the project. In addition, not only will most of the tournament fees be donated, but this year everyone may bid on a variety of items donated for a silent auction.

Some of the items available for bidding on at the silent auction are: a digital picture frame, a $50 gift certificate to the HTC Pro Shop, a $50 gift certificate to Luciano’s, a free racquet stringing from Chris McCauley, a training session with Thomas Amsden at HAC, a $65 Pilates gift certificate, a set of HWTA coasters, a tennis lesson from Chris Shearburn, baskets of bath essentials and a poolside barbecue meal/party.

You don’t have to enter the tournament to bid on these items – just come on over to HTC on Saturday, September 19 and place your bid!

Of course, a tasty lunch, snacks, and tournament shirt are included for all entrants, so reserve this special weekend
to enjoy some tennis with friends for a good cause.

–Pam Vickroy & Cindy Reaves
