TENNIS CLUB NEWS
Due to the Dows moving further away, Fred has stepped down as president. Gary Edwards was elected to fill the vacancy at the last tournament. He won by 2 votes. The Dows will still come down for some tournaments in the future. Ken gave the Treasurer's report, and said the club was in good financial health, with over $4000 in the bank, after the $1039.13 taken in at the last rummage sale.
New president, Gary Edwards, with departing president, Fred Dow
BORREGO NEWSFlowers continued blooming just as some of the alien weeds died back. Painted Lady butterflies started appearing in ever increasing numbers. Wierd black crawling bugs started appearing. They can be over 2" long, and resemble earwigs. Apparently they can bite, eat other bugs, and are always on the move and wind up indoors by crawling thru door cracks, but are slow enough to deal with. Hopefully they are keeping other bugs in check. They may be larval beetles. April has started with very pleasant weather. Birdwatchers report a larger variety of migrating birds in the area.
MARCH TOURNAMENT We had a good turnout of 48 contestants for the March 12 - 13, 2005 mixed doubles tournament. Weather was good with highs in the mid to low 80s, but with some wind in the early afternoon. Gary Edwards made a cameo appearance, and assisted Jef in the draw. Jef took these pictures of the winners. Harriet Schultz won the $50 drawing -- after 21 years of trying!!!. Congratulations, Harriet!
