2012 FALL

 Just a reminder that we're keeping the Greenock Country Clubs courts open through Thanksgiving weekend. We've been quite lucky here in the Berkshires, escaping the awful storms, and though the nights have been cold enough to make snow at the ski resorts, the days have been bright & sunny for playing tennis outdoors. Temperatures in the 50's are forecast for the rest of this week. You can reserve courts online at www.leecta.com or give me a call @ 413-243-3240. Reserve both courts and have a little family tennis party!

LATEST NEWS:

LEE HS/MS TENNIS COURT PROJECT Resurfacing, crack repair, and line painting has been completed on the 6 Lee MS/HS Tennis Courts. They are beautiful but are closed to the public until early spring. Drainage improvements and the wheelchair accessible path will be completed in early spring outside the court area. We received approval for the $17,400 grant from USTA towards this $87,400 project. Thanks to Tri-Town Rotary for closing out our fund drive with a $6000 donation. They are interested in continuing with us as a sponsor of our youth programs, especially our college scholarship program.

WELCOME TO OUR NEW BOARD MEMBERS Donna Piretti, Sam Patel, and Glenn Keiderling. They join Tonio Palmer, President; Bob Mitchell, Treasurer; Kathleen DeVarennes, Secretary; & board members Arlene Breskin, Norma Comalli, and Wayne Donelon. We greatly appreciate their support in bringing tennis to all our Berkshire families!

DONATIONS We’re welcoming donations to our Youth Tennis Fund, which has suffered during our Tennis Facility Fund Drive. This fund provides scholarships for children in need and families with multiple children in our tennis programs, as well as keeps payments for all children affordable. In the past, before the advent of online payments, our registration form asked all members to make at least a $5 donation to each of these funds. Please go to www.leecta.com to make a donation.

Wishing you a happy and healthy holiday season!
