APRIL 21 - 22, 2007 TOURNAMENT - STRAIGHT DOUBLES

The next tournament will be the weekend of April 21 - 22, 2007. This is near the end of the season, but it is still a good idea to make reservations early. If nothing can be found, call Jef or Kathy at 760-767-4536. If you are planning to play, you must sign up by 7:30 p.m. on the eve of the tournament. Sign-up at the clubhouse, or contact Jef or Kathy: phone 760-767-4536, e-mail: jef@znet.com, or if all else fails, call the tennis center at 760-767-0577 the Friday night before the tournament (definitely before 8 p.m.). The draw will be completed by around 9:00 P.M. and play will begin on Saturday at 8:00 a.m. If you want us to call you with the start time, add your phone number with your name when you sign up. Also, if you are just joining the club, please provide contact information, preferably an e-mail address, if you wish to receive a newsletter, and if you want to be listed in the club's directory. If you want to share and consume goodies, there will be a Goody Bar in the clubhouse on Saturday and Sunday mornings.

APRIL 21 - ANNUAL BANQUET

Since the weather will be nice and warm, and hopefully the wind and rain will leave us alone, we will use the larger outside area for the April banquet. If you plan to attend, and haven't done so yet, please give Ken $15 per person and tell him steak or salmon by April 15. Email him at jkshalla@yahoo.com, tell him your choice of steak or salmon and that the check is on the way. Make check out to Borrego Tennis Club and mail to:

It all begins Saturday night at 6:30 at the tennis center with Happy Hour, and dinner begins at 7:00. If you want to contribute to the door prizes, remember to place them in the door prize area before dinner. Also, a $100 drawing will take place, either at the awards presentation, or at the banquet for all members who have paid to be in all 6 tournaments this season.

MARCH HIKE

5 people attended the Friday, March 23 hike to Fonts Point. Weather was cloudy, but Fonts Point is always spectacular. The group was surprised to find a film crew from KFMB TV in San Diego, who interviewed the group, even seeing Peg's reaction to seeing the view for the first time. Hikers included Peg Lieb, Carole Stadelbacher, Harriet Schultz, Bonnie Wilson, and Jef Johnson. As Harriet was using a cane, they hiked only about 1 mile along the rim.

TENNIS RANKINGS

Gary and Jef are having trouble determining which division to put most people. They have decided to break tennis players into groups of 6. Please help them keep it accurate. E-mail jef at jef@znet.com with suggested corrections. The list can be found on the website under RANKINGS. Denny Bean has suggested a tennis round-robin where players can find their own level by going up / down the ladder. We may do this in the next tournament.

PRE-TOURNAMENT HIKE

Jef will show up at the tennis club on the Friday before the tournament at 9:00 a.m. If any are interested in a little hike (with transportation to/from club and the hike itself not to exceed 3 hours), please show up in the parking lot between 9 and 9:10. If Jef forgets again, and is not there by 9, call him at 760-767-4536, and remind him.

EMAIL CHANGES

The Grangers have a new e-mail address and new Cel numbers. As you know all emails and phone numbers are always on the tennis club website and kept up to date.

NO MORE SNAIL MAIL?

Jef is running out of time, and so will discontinue mailing the newsletter to the 6 people (both former and current members) who don't have e-mail. For the past 10 years, both e-mail and snail mail have been used. Jef re-formats and usually compresses the printed newsletter, so as to keep each newsletter under 1 ounce, and this takes about 3 hours of time each mailing. If anyone wants to do a mailing, just tell Jef, and he will provide the mailing information. The current newsletter will be mailed with a note saying as much.

MARCH 2007 TOURNAMENT

We had a huge turnout of 68 contestants for the March 24 - 25 mixed doubles tournament. Weather was perfect. Barry Frahm was the M.C. for the Saturday luau. Nancy Shoemaker sang for us and Elaine Tone showed her expertise at Hula. Jim Perez was again eloquent in his emceeing elocution, as always, in summarizing the tournament, teaching us some new facts regarding the ocotillo, and presenting the awards. Harold Plett won the $50 drawing. Congratulations, Harold!

RECYCLED EMAIL JOKE submitted by Kim, 7-21-98
Consider this...

Abraham Lincoln was elected to Congress in 1846.
John F. Kennedy was elected to Congress in 1946.

Abraham Lincoln was elected President in 1860.
John F. Kennedy was elected President in 1960.

The names Lincoln and Kennedy each contain seven letters.

Both were particularly concerned with civil rights.

Both wives lost their children while living in the White House.

Both Presidents were shot on a Friday.

Both were shot in the head.

Now this is interesting...

Lincoln's secretary was named Kennedy.
Kennedy's secretary was named Lincoln.

Both were assassinated by Southerners.

Both were succeeded by Southerners.

Both successors were named Johnson.

Andrew Johnson, who succeeded Lincoln, was born in 1808.
Lyndon Johnson, who succeeded Kennedy, was born in 1908.

John Wilkes Booth, who assassinated Lincoln was born in 1839.
Lee Harvey Oswald, who assassinated Kennedy was born in 1939.

Both assassins were known by their three names.

Both names comprise fifteen letters.

Booth ran from a theater and was caught in a warehouse.
Oswald ran from a warehouse and was caught in a theater.

Booth and Oswald were assassinated before their trials.

And here's the kicker,

A week before Lincoln was shot he was in Monroe, Maryland.
A week before Kennedy was shot he was in Marilyn Monroe.
