Way to go HWTA ladies! We raised over $3000 for the Huntsville Achievement School.

What a beautiful weekend for tennis and a successful 10th annual Charity tournament! I must say, it has been an honor serving as your Vice President the last two years. You are all so wonderful and have made it so easy. I am very thankful to have been given the opportunity to work with such a great group. Speaking of an awesome group, we are so honored to have Karen Mitchell as our President. She was instrumental in getting our donations this year, sending thank you cards, and making the tournament run so smoothly. There are not enough words to describe how much she has blessed HWTA. Tell her thank you the next time you see her! Another awesome person that I have had the pleasure to work with the last two years is Arlene Taylor! She gets the job done and does it extremely well! Thanks Arlene for all the excellent door prizes and outstanding food you managed to coordinate! She worked with me through 4 tournaments and each of them surpassed the other with surprising abundance. You can’t say the word “tournament” and not have Irene Wisner in the mix. She is HWTA’s tournament director and has proven that her title is worn well. Irene may not have been there with us during the tournament this year, but did all the leg work and predicting to keep us going throughout the weekend. She has always given many hours to us for our tournaments and put many matches on the courts. Her constant effort and time has made our tournaments run like clock work. Thanks Irene!!

Ladies it is time to play some tennis and have fun for a wonderful cause! The 7th Annual Roselyn Donnelly Memorial Tennis Tournament will be September 25th – 28th. Even more special is that it is HWTA’s 10th Annual Charity tournament. We have chosen to benefit the “Huntsville Achievement School”, serving a wide array of students and specializing in educational training for children diagnosed with various learning differences. As mothers and parents we recognize the importance for every child, no matter how great their learning disability, to be allowed to grow positively and reach academic success that can not be offered in a normal education environment. The fall tournament will have both regular and senior ladies and mixed doubles this year. I know there are plenty of men that will be ready to play. The men always enjoy our tournaments and the fellowship we offer, especially the food. All that is needed is for us to ask. At present we have the following sponsors: Costco, Captain D’s Seafood, Steve Deerman, Phyllis Baron (Baron Services) and The Lioce Group. We want to make this 10th Charity anniversary special so we are asking our HWTA members to recruit donations that go directly to the charity. We also have two fund raisers to help, a raffle for a Huntsville Tennis Center (HTC) annual membership and selling “I Love Tennis” car magnets.
