A Great New Opportunity For Service

Hope this GREAT weather is getting you out on the court for lots of TENNIS!

 

Our Texas Tennis Section is helping host the Special Olympic State Games of Texas at UT Arlington  on Friday and Saturday - May 27 and 28. 

 

Cindy Benzon and I (Kevin Foster) are looking for patient - good hearted VOLUNTEER OFFICIALS to help with this rewarding program.

 

This is a FANTASTIC event and your time will be very much appreciated.  It is a GREAT way to give back to TENNIS.

 

We will need 2-4 Officials - the shifts are from 7:30-12:15 and 12:30-4:30 both days.

 

If you would like to help - please email me back your availability for which shifts and/or days and I will get right back in touch with you.  If you know of an Official that might be interested - let me know...

 

We promise that you will benefit as much as the people you are assisting.  Thanks again for your part in Texas Tennis.
