BACK AGAIN BY POPULAR DEMAND! Suppose you heard about our mixed doubles tournament? It was a USAPA sanctioned tourney with usapa members receiving points if the won a medal. We had twenty one teams and plenty of spectators. Players came from around the valley and from out of the area. We had five specific age groups, and several from Sky Valley won medals. Henry Meerkerk and Betty Wust took the gold in their age group. Doug and Lovell Cassidy, Jeff and Coke Netcott, and Jan Johnson and Bev Parks took bronze in their respective age groups. Needless to say, we received many compliments on a well run tournament. And that brings us to point out that well run tournaments (or any activity) don't just happen. It takes dedicated volunteers. From Len on loudspeaker and Anne Marie with Fern at the scheduling table, along with John, Hutch and Marlene, Doug, Lovell, and all those who volunteered to line judge and referee, to those who helped clean up and set up, we give a big shout out! Special mention to Don James, our photographer, who produced a great variety of event pictures. And how about those hamburgers?! Those grilled onions were a siren call! We should all be looking forward to next year and our third annual mixed doubles tournament! Prepare yourselves to compete in it and have real fun on the courts!
