TENNIS NEWS FROM ORPS We are really having a great turnout at all our events even though many have gone home for the holidays. We had our second Horse Race on December 1 with 37 people in attendance. Even the weather cooperated. The Tennis Committee has been busy behind the scenes trying to schedule all the upcoming play in January and throughout the springtime. The courts are going to be filled both day and night so please pay close attention to the calendars when they come out. We have posted them at the main bulletin board and all Satellites as well as in the mailroom lobbies. We will also distribute them at the next meeting. It is also posted on the website. This year we are going to be trying new things in the evening as the lights at La Palma are fantastic. On Tuesday night, January 8, we will be having a mixed doubles play beginning at 4PM and then eat at Bella Roma after play. All levels are welcome and we hope to have a terrific time. Upcoming dates to remember: January 5 at 8:15AM first Horse Race of the year and a general meeting right afterwards. January 6 tennis barbecue starting at 5PM it is a fun event and we encourage you to attend. January 19 is our first mixer and lunch: 8:15AM
