MARCH 20 - 21, 2004 TOURNAMENT - MIXED DOUBLESThe next tournament will be the weekend of March 20 - 21, 2004. This is in the season, so getting reservations may be wise. If you are planning to play, you must sign up by 7:30 p.m. on the eve of the tournament. Signup at clubhouse, or contact Gary Edwards: phone 619-390-8412, e-mail: garyre@cox.net, cel: 619-992-8412. The draw will be completed by 9:00 P.M. and play will begin on Saturday at 8:00 A.M. Please remember to share and consume at the goody bar on Saturday and Sunday mornings.
GOODY BAR AND POTLUCKAs usual, the potluck will occur Saturday: happy hour is at 6:30 p.m., and dinner will be at 7 p.m. If you want to contribute to the door prizes, remember to place them in the door prize area before dinner. Julie Johnson is coming to town this day, and despite the long 700 mile drive, has volunteered to put on a belly dancing performance during the potluck, as she did several years ago.
REMEMBER TO FOLLOW THESE RULES AT THE CLUB
FEBRUARY TOURNAMENT
- Keep the back gate closed - to prevent pets from escaping
- Use the outside refrigerator - except for frozen foods
- Try bringing (and removing) your own plates for the potluck
- Wipe your "paws" before going on courts, if you still have sand on your shoes
We had a good turnout of 44 contestants for the February 14 - 15 straight doubles tournament. Despite a few sprinkles on Saturday, the weather cooperated for another successful tournament. Pleasant temperatures and little wind. Jef used his new camera for the following pictures.

TOURNAMENT NEWS Gary Edwards did his usual great job of emcee-ing the potluck on Saturday and Jim Perez did his usual great job at the awards ceremony. Many other members graciously contributed some yummy treats to the goody bar. Thanks to everybody for another wonderful weekend! Tatiana McClure won the $50 drawing. She had to be dragged out of the swimming pool to get her prize. Congratulations, Tatiana!

CHANGESBetty Gibson is moving to Walnut Creek, which Denny says is east of San Francisco. Monica Herrlin, Tom Haskins, and Hal and Joanne Cohen are recent additions the new membership roster. If anyone needs an updated roster, contact Jef, and he can e-mail you the latest Word document.
SAN CLEMENTE CAMPOUTThe weekend of September 17 - 19 at San Clemente State Beach will the the scene of another BSTC tennis and camping weekend. For those who want to attend, please make reservations as early in March as possible, as sites are reserved quickly. Reservations can be made by calling 800-444-PARK (or 1-800-444-7275) or via website: www.reserveamerica.com, and try to reserve a premium campsite at San Clemente on those dates.
ANZA TENNIS CENTER NEWSThe public is invited to get together for doubles from 9 a.m. to noon on every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday for the rest of the season. In addition, the last Sunday of each month is a round robin / potluck. Tennis starts at 12:30 p.m. at these events. During the last tournament, Gladys Lehman tackled the bridge drawer - all decks are now in a package or container are now full decks.
INJURIES AND ILLNESSESSonja reported that Janice Atzen has been sidelined with rotator cuff injuries in both arms, but mostly in the right. She won't be able to play tennis for the foreseeable future, but is able to play a little golf. Get healthy, Janice! Bob Lehman made an appearance at the club in February. He can get around with a cane and a brace, but he might not get feeling back to his leg after a recent hip replacement. Gladys says there's a chance the nerves can regenerate, but the longer it stays numb, the lesser the chance. We all hope he makes a full recovery, but we're thankful he and Gladys can, at least, visit us at the tournaments. Ruth Johnson still has bronchitis and will take at least another month to recover. Hopefully we will see her on the courts next season.
BORREGO NEWSBorrego finally got some good rain on February 20th, and a few medium dousings during the next couple weeks. There are a few good displays of wildflowers this year, especially in the Coyote Canyon drainage on Henderson Canyon Road and to the north of Digiorgio Road. Not a spectacular wildflower year yet, but not bad. The last two tournament weekends should offer a great opportunity to drive around and check out the blooms.
APRIL BANQUETOn the Saturday night of April 17, 2004, the club will hold it's annual banquet at the tennis center. If you wish to attend, please pay Harriet Lisak $20 per person by April 1st. She will also need to know your meal choice. There are 2 choices of entrees: Steak or Salmon. Meals will be accompanied with assorted salads, wild rice, baked potatoes, assorted pan-fried vegetables, and fruit pie. If you pay by check, please make the check payable to BSTC.
Checks can be sent by mail to:
Harriet LisakYou can tell Harriet your choice of entree in any of the following ways: in person at the next tournament, by phone at 619-466-5515, in the envelope containing the check you mailed, or by e-mail at hlisak@cox.net.

T-SHIRTSThanks to Harriet Lisak's idea of sorting shirts into plastic bags last January, it's much easier to select them now. Marilyn and Harriet spent 3 hours accomplishing this task. These embroidered BSTC T-shirts are available for only $10.00 each and can be purchased at each tournament. Or, on the other hand, you can just win them.
FEBRUARY HIKE Jef, Harriet, and Bonnie went on an impromptu 2 mile hike to Big Spring. This is a relatively easy hike, and the trailhead is only about 8 miles from the club.

RECYCLED E-MAIL JOKE circulated by Liz S, Feb 15, 2004
- If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you.
- Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me either. Just pretty much leave me the hell alone.
- It's always darkest before dawn. So if you're going to steal your neighbor's newspaper, that's the time to do it.
- Always remember you're unique. Just like everyone else.
- Everyone seems normal until you get to know them.
- If you think nobody cares if you're alive, try missing a couple of car payments.
- Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them you're a mile away and you have their shoes.
- Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach him how to fish, and he will sit in a boat and drink beer all day.
- If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.
- Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.
- Good judgment comes from bad experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment.
- There are two theories on how to argue with a woman. Neither one works.
