Tennis Academy Status and Preparation (Sequim)

Registration for the Tennis Academy has been closed out.  There are 38 participants.  It's a little more than what I originally wanted, but It'll allow for some withdrawals.  The T-shirts have already arrived, and participation medals are on the way.  The gym bathrooms have been reserved for use during the Academy hours.  We already have a commitment for providing water and ice, and for an on-scene first aid kit.

We're moving out smartly to ensure another quality event for our youth.  The bulk of the support is coming from donations and contributions that have come in from the public.  Fortunately, this year, we had a very sizeable contribution from an anonymous donor.  That donation, by itself, will provide for tennis programs throughout the summer at no cost for our youth.  Funding, overall, is coming from the Community Junior Tennis Program.  BUT, we still can't do this by ourselves.  WE NEED VOLUNTEERS.  Please check out the above schedule and assignments to see if you can assist in our effort.  That will be much appreciated. 
 
If you have any comments/recommendations, please do not hesitate to contact me. 
 
Thank you so much,
 
Don
