Looks like we have enough interest to have an additional “open” level.  After we have received all the entries, we will see how this affects the current 8.0 and above level.  Get your registrations in soon.  We are filling up fast.

The registration deadline is fast approaching.  Please send in your application or drop it off at Holly Tree Racquet Club by November 13th. 

We are looking forward to a big time at Friday night’s social this year.  We have tons of food and drink provided by wonderful sponsors.  We’ll have raffles and auctions and lots of fun.  Let us know if you would like to help.

Donors who provide non-cash gifts can find a copy of the gift-in-kind form here: Gift In Kind Form

We will always remember the way Betsy Lewis flipped her long beautiful ponytail on the tennis court as she served the ball. Betsy loved tennis.

Please send pictures:
I am setting up two galleries. One with pictures of Betsy and another with pictures of the tournament. If you have pictures you are willing to share, then please email them to me at .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) so I can post them to the website gallery.

Sponsors:
It’s time to let us know if you are willing and intending to sponsor us again this year.  Contact Nolan, Mark, or one of the other committee members to let us know.  As always, we appreciate your support.

The website is essentially complete.  Of course, we will keep it updated and add more content as we go.  Registration forms, sponsor letters, etc. are all upto date.  Looking forward to a warm November.

As you can tell, we are updating the website this year.  Please check back soon.  We expect to have all the 2009 details posted by the end of August.

The next Betsy LewisTennis Challenge will take place on November 20, 2009.
