TO ALL OF YOU WHO ATTENDED THE ANNALEE THURSTON AWARD DINNER, SENT IN DONATIONS OR WISHED US LUCK, ON BEHALF OF THE LOVE & LOVE TENNIS FOUNDATION THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE FOUNDATION. WITHOUT YOU WE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO DO THE THINGS WE DO, AND THAT’S TO BRING TENNIS TO AS MANY KIDS AS WE CAN IN THE COACHELLA VALLEY. IT IS NOT AN EASY SOLUTION AS THE VALLEY IS SPREAD OUT AND SO ARE OUR KIDS. THERE TRULY IS A NEED FOR VOLUNTEERS WHO CAN HELP WITH THE KIDS IN DIFFERENT LOCATIONS. IF YOU KNOW OR PLAY TENNIS AND WOULD LIKE TO HELP, PLEASE EMAIL ME AT: SPORTSWOMN@AOL.COM
THE FOUNDATION MADE A LITTLE OVER 100K MINUS EXPENSES. THERE ISN’T ANYTHING MORE REWARDING BUT TO KNOW THERE ARE FRIENDS OF TENNIS WHO WANT TO HELP AND SUPPORT OUR JUNIOR TENNIS PROGRAMS.
WE HAD A WONDERFUL EVENING WITH GOOD FOOD AND WINE FROM RODNEY STRONG VINEYARDS. THE AFFABLE PAM SHRIVER WAS OUR MC AND SHE DID A GREAT JOB WITH THE LIVE AUCTION AND EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN.
CONGRATULATIONS GO TO OUR 3 HONOREES; TRACY AUSTIN FOR THE ANNALEE THURSTON AWARD, CONNIE SPOONER FOR THE WTAF CHAMPION FOR CHANGE AWARD AND SIMON FRARY FOR THE VICKY BERNER HEART & SPIRIT AWARD, IN ADDITION TO THE $2,500 GRANT FROM THE TOM & SUSAN MAAS ACHIEVEMENT GRANT.
