Update from Membership Director. Ext. 367

Refer a new member & receive one month free of dues AND complimentary dinner for FOUR!
In any private Club, the best new members are those that come with a referral and stamp of approval from existing members. An unfortunate side effect of the economic downturn of 2009 is that many members were forced to relinquish their memberships. This has created a rare opportunity for those who will continue to enjoy the privilege of membership to play an active role in shaping the next generation of MCC members. I will be running a membership referral program effective immediately through the end of April. Additionally, any members interested in joining the Membership Committee and participating in the selection and approval process for incoming members are asked to please contact me via email by the end of this month. Participation in the committee will offer additional incentives for membership referral, as well as an invitation to semi-annual new member cocktail parties.

Tennis Tip for the Week: First ball in (FBI)

"For many club players you hear that being called out on a regular basis. With the serve and return being the two most important shots in the game of tennis all players should take serves & returns before starting any type of match. "FBI" just slows play down and really isn't proper tennis etiquette. Just get into the habit of all players taking a few minutes to take serves & returns." ~ Mark McGuire

Just want to give a big thank you to everyone for coming out on Feb 2! Hope you enjoyed the match and entertainment.

 

The match was tough... Lots of long rallies and more running than most of us are used to doing. It was tough losing 9-11 in the 5th game but Ryan played well and deserved the win. Not to worry though, vengeance will be mine!

 

Here are some photos from last night taken by Glenn... We forgot to do a group shot so next time shout out the suggestion if you remember (I'll probably forget):

Thanks again for making the "Spring Squash Showcase 2010" a huge success. Really appreciate the support.
