Hi Ladies,

It's hard to believe, but another summer is rapidly coming to an end. If you have not gotten your MIG points yet, you still have plenty of time. The season officially ends on September 30.  If you are on a challenge ladder, you must make your challenge by September 23 to allow for 7 days to play.  Of course, if your opponent is willing to waive the rule, they can.

September Event:  The round robin tournament is Saturday, September 13.  "A" division is from 8-10am and "B" division is from 10:15am to 12:15pm.  The chairs are Jessica Moyer and Sherri Wolff.  Please sign up asap if you are interested. There are openings for both ladders.

Tennis Under The Stars Event: Congratulations to the winners of the A ladder: 1st place: Amy Noble and Jessica Moyer; 2nd place: Dupe Henry and Marta Kaminska.  B ladder were only able to play for one hour before they were rained out. They were able to adjourn at Harp & Fiddle. The winner of the Singles Tournament was: Brooke Eby (1st place) and Gia DeCicco (2nd place). CONGRATS TO ALL THE WINNERS!

Thank you to all the August event chairpersons: Patti Miletic and Mary Kay Clark (TUTS Doubles B ladder); Mary Ellen Hanrahan and Marell Kowalski (TUTS Doubles A ladder); Dupe Henry and Colette Lane Smigielski (TUTS Singles). We could not do this without your help. THANK YOU LADIES!

Challenge Ladder/MIGS:  To be considered a member in good standing (MIGS), a total of six points must be accumulated during the playing season. You must participate on a challenge ladder, play at least five challenge matches, and compete in at least one tournament (May, July or Sept Round Robins, June and August Tournaments). If a member is on a singles and doubles ladder, two of the five challenges must be from a singles matches. The MIGS points determine where you start at the beginning of the next season.  A MIGS point is also awarded to the event chairperson of each event.

Harvest Moon:  The event will be on Sunday, October 12 (6pm to 8pm) at River Trails Tennis Center. We will play for 2 hours, switching every half hour. If we have more players than courts, we will do 5 on each court and rotate after the server has completed their game. We will do our business meeting after we play plus socialing. We will elect Officers for next year and vote on any Bylaw changes. If you have any suggestions for rule changes, please contact one of the officers asap.  Please put this date on your calendar and sign up asap. Tori Jepsen and Wendy Varygiannes are the chairpersons for this event. Hope to see you there!
