Member Sub Tournament
The board is making plans for the Member Sub
Tournament on Thursday, Sept. 9, 2021. Mark your
calendars! Usually, this tournament happens in
May but do to the uncertainty of court availability,
it was decided to have the tournament in
September in place of the usual Member
Tournament. We are optimistic that courts will be
open and we can return to much of our normal
schedule!

your directory. It should read:

to read to Dolly any get well messages we
send. If you want to send a card please
mail it to Dolly Vasil, 161 S. California Ave.,

wishes to Dolly in her ongoing recovery!
Our sincere and heartfelt sympathy goes to
Linda Dickinson for the recent loss of her
husband, Stan. We are thinking of you and
wishing you peace and strength during this
sad time.
