Ladies,
We had our final event on Sunday Oct 12 at River Trails which was the Harvest Moon where we played tennis and then had our final meeting. The officers gave their reports.
The slate of officers for next year are:
President: Ellyn Ryan
Vice President: Wendy Varygiannes
Secretary: Dupe Henry
Treasurer: Kathy Wood
Park Ridge Liaison: Jessica Moyer
Membership: Colette Lane
Website Coordinator: Ann Iremedio
Ex Officio: Tori Jepsen
All those in attendance at the Harvest Moon unanimous voted in favor of this slate. However, we do need a vote of the membership. Click the PRWTA Officers for 2026 link above and vote YES Or NO to this slate.
The second order of business is to change the challenge ladder rules from a maximum of 10 above to 5 above. The ladders are too small and the Board felt it made more sense to go back to the 5 above. Click the Proposed Challenge Rule Change link above and vote YES or NO on this change.
We are looking for volunteers to be on a committee to decide if we need a new website and/or a new way of recording and making challenges. If you are an IT person or have any web design experience, we could greatly use you. Or if you want to be on the committee, please contact Ellyn Ryan at ellynryan@yahoo.com
We also want to congratulate the ladder winners. Kristin Lay & Janet Mital #1 on A ladder.
Wendy Varygiannes & Diane Ramoska #1 on B ladder. For Singles, Congratulations to Brooke Eby #1 on A ladder and Cate Battin #1 on B ladder. WELL DONE LADIES!
I am happy to say that we had a successful year of outdoor tennis. So until next Spring, hope you continue to play tennis over the indoor season somewhere.
I would like to say a special thank you to the members of the board who are leaving: Janet Joyce and Lori Lamey. Thank you for everything you did to help make this a great season. I am happy to pass the baton to Ellyn Ryan and glad to retire from being President!
Tori Jepsen
