Hoping Santa brought you everything you asked for and more!
As we embrace the new year the Love & Love Tennis Foundation is grateful for their Patrons & Donors who have supported the various youth tennis programs organized throughout the year and past. I also want to thank all my volunteers who have devoted their time to helping me and the foundation with all the free kids clinics and events we’ve organized throughout the Coachella Valley. I am grateful for all they do and I know they don’t get enough credit so I will take a moment to thank you: Lynora Miller, D’Wayne Begay,Trinity Miller, Brian Robin, Brian Dunphy, Tracy Woodard, Beth Ramos, Jim Cain, Allen Stecker, Miguel Nolasco, Eric Manese, Claudia Garcia, Roza Castilla, Diego Castilla, Simon Frary and last but not least my right hand person Connie Spooner who brings all the treats for the kids! If I’ve forgotten to mention anybody I will do so on my next newsletter!
Like every year the LLTF tries to spread tennis to as many kids in the valley as we can. We are limited with our resources especially volunteers, so if you would like to help please reach out to me at: SPORTSWOMN@AOL.COM. We will try and provide more information on free clinics being given throughout the valley as well as tournaments. I work closely with Rhenn Ramirez who runs most of his clinics here at Indian Ridge. I also want to let everyone know that Gordon Tzawtun at the Palm Desert Resorter has done a great job with the kids in running NJTL tournaments almost every weekend. He was a main stay at Palm Valley C.C. for many years.
Many thanks for helping spread and grow tennis through-out the Valley to all of you.
Tory and I would like to wish everyone a HAPPY NEW YEAR!
GO PLAY TENNIS!

Billie Jean King Story
January 2025 Newsletter
My 2025 started with a trip to the ROSEBOWL PARADE with Billie Jean & Ilana. We arrived a couple of days early to enjoy the stately grounds of the Langham Hotel in Pasadena. Billie Jean was to be the Grand Marshall and invited several of her friends ("The Great 8" the Cruisers) and others to join her parade and that we did. We celebrated New Year's Eve with a beautiful 5 star...
