JANUARY 13 HIKEJef and Kathy led a 4.7 mile, 230' vertical, hike along Coyote Creek from 1st to 2nd crossings. This also included a side trip to Desert Gardens. Two other hikers came besides Jef and Kathy: Denny Bean and Susan Dow. Early in the hike, water was flowing past 1st crossing, but after returning a couple hours later, the flow had stopped about 1/4 mile upstream from there.

JANUARY TOURNAMENT We had a good turnout of 49 contestants for the January 14 - 15, 2006 mixed doubles tournament. Weather was just fine, with not too much wind and ideal temperatures. Gary Edwards did most of the work when assisting Jef in organizing the tournament. When the first drawing failed to have the winner in attendance, Mary Kae Romeo won the $50. After Jef announce he was engaged to Kathy, however, the Romeos presented this money as a wedding present! Congratulations and thanks, Mary Kae!

SAN CLEMENTE CAMPOUTIt's time to think about our annual San Clemente Campout. We have two suggestions for dates - either the weekend of Sep 16 & 17 or the weekend of Sep 23 & 24. Think about these dates and be prepared to vote on the date you prefer at the February Borrego tournament. We will decide then.
If you would like to join us camping at San Clemente State Beach, you must make reservations either via the internet or by phone. The campground fills up quickly on weekends, so it is important to get reservations early. The earliest date to make reservations for September is Wednesday, March 1 at 8:00 A.M. PST. If you do not make them that day, you may not get reservations. You may make reservations on the internet at www.reserveamerica.com or by phone at 1-800-444-7275. As for the hook-up area and ask for senior rate, if you qualify for that.
We hope to see many of you in San Clemente for a weekend of camping, tennis, beach and fellowship. We usually plan a group potluck on Saturday night. Some of us arrive a day or two early and/or stay another day or two. Come join us in San Clemente!
MEMBER HEALTHBarbara McClure hit some tennis balls during the last tournament and will hopefully be playing in our tournaments soon. Dave Quimby is still incapacitated, but now Mary will be as well after her surgery.

RECYCLED E-MAIL JOKE circulated by Kim, 9-2-97The new Euro LanguageThe European Union commissioners have announced that agreement has been reached to adopt English as the preferred language for European communications, rather than German, which was the other possibility.
As part of the negotiations, the British government conceded that English spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a five-year phased plan for what will be known as EuroEnglish (Euro for short).
In the first year, "s" will be used instead of the soft "c"Sertainly, sivil servants will resieve this news with joy. Also, the hard"c" will be replaced with "k". Not only will this klear up konfusion, but typerwriters kan have one less letter.
There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year, then the troublesome "ph" will be replace by "f". This will make words like "fotograf" 20 per sent shorter.
In the third year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted to reach the stage where more komplikated changes are possible. Govemments will enkorage the removal of double letters, which have always ben a deterent to akurate speling. Also, al wil agre that the horible mes of silent "e"s in the languag is disgrasful, and they would go.
By the fourth year, peopl wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing "th" by "z" and "w" by "v".
