January 2016 Board Members 2016 President's Report PRESIDENT Linda Beckman Linda Beckman President VICE-PRESIDENT Sheila Stimmel Welcome to another year of great tennis and fun activities with amazing friends! We had our first board meeting of the year last week and there were some very good ideas for this coming year. Be on the look out for emails giving you information on the events. Thank you to the new and past Board members who have stepped up to help again this year. We will all try to keep you informed of upcoming Unstrung activities. PLEASE let us know of any ideas you may have to improve YOUR club! As most of you know, John Hurst is turning the position of Treasurer over to Brian England after many years of keeping us on the right track financially. I can't thank John enough for all of the support he has given to Unstrung! SECRETARY Gwen Smith TREASURER Brian England OPEN TENNIS Linda Beckman TOURNAMENTS Mike Ryan TOURNAMENT PARTIES Sophia Cali/Joy Smarr MEMBERSHIP Gloria Mecca NEWSLETTER Steve Feldman ACTIVITIES Barb Hopkins WEB MASTER Skip Lewis www.unstrung-racquets.org Linda LINDA BECKMAN Open Tennis Chairman Thank you to all of the loyal Open Tennis players who come every week to play! We would love to have more of you come to play now and then or all of the time. We have a few ideas to add to Open Tennis this year. Maybe another FREE Pizza night? Maybe some snacks to eat during tennis? Maybe another “Crazy Socks” or “Crazy Hat Night”? Let me know if you have some fresh new ideas. REMEMBER!! If you bring a FIRST time guest to Open Tennis, both of you play for FREE on ANY Friday or Sunday. We used to only have one night a month that was guest night but I feel like it should be any night so bring new faces to play. See you all on the courts - Linda Never Too Early . . .
