Congratulations to the HVTC women’s 55+ 9.0 team captained by Missy Pollick.The team was victorious at sectional competition and is headed to national playoffs in early November. Good luck!

Special thanks and a sportsmanship award go to the club’s other 55+ 9.0 team, captained by Karen Caine.The Caine team was created to provide a local flight for the Pollick team, so those players would have an opportunity to compete.

The next session of Junior Excellence starts October 27. If you anticipate absences from the Junior Excellence classes, fees may be prorated if you ask at the desk for a blue Request to Prorate form and submit it during the first week of the session. Simply telling the desk personnel or the pros that a student will not attend will not trigger prorated fees.

For those absences that were not declared and prorated, we have Junior Excellence makeup days (no additional charge) scheduled for 4:30–6pm Monday, November 24, and Monday, December 15.

The first mixed doubles evening of the season is Friday, October 17, 7–9 pm. Come and try the very social group. The level is 2.5–4.0 men and women. Couples and singles are invited to play. Both members and guests are welcome. Please bring a snack to share after the three rounds of tennis. Sign up at the desk; cost is $18 per person. For more information, contact Peggy Moran.

Martin “Count Dracula” Topliss hosts this annual extravaganza for juniors, featuring music, prizes, tennis games, and pizza (watch out for a spider on your pizza). Prizes are awarded for the best costumes, so dig in the attic for creative outfits and come join us for a night of surprises on Friday, October 24, 7–9pm. The cost is $18 per junior player. Please sign up at the desk.
