The courtside trash containers have been
difficult to maintain as they simply don't
get emptied.
They will be removed and ALL players are
asked to use the large trash containers
located just outside the gates to each bank
of courts.
These are YOUR courts...please keep them
clean. There is no maintenance or cleaning
service.
Thank You!

A gala dinner and awards ceremony Sponsored
by USTA Norcal will be
held in San Francisco at the beautiful,
historic Palace Hotel on
January 30th. Rumor has it that two of our
long-time, dedicated members have been nominated
and will receive awards. It is a great honor
to be
recognized by the USTA Norcal at this level
and we
think most members have a clue who these very
active and young at heart
volunteers might be!!
You guessed right! Our very own super
president extra-ordinaire, Bob Walsh and his
equally extraordinary
side-kick, Al Facchini!!! For all you
recent members, we wish you could have seen
NVTA just ten years ago before these guys
(and many others) stepped up and turned a
weed patch into a clubhouse with a patio
garden. Bob and Al's energy and enthusiasm
raised the bar for our facility,
and attracted many new USTA team
players, ladies league participants, junior
players and tournament participants.
Let's have a big NVTA showing at the gala to
honor our guys...Tix are $70 but $35 is tax
deductible. Come on everybody, put on your
best duds and be there!!
More information is on the USTA Norcal
website. (see quick links box)

If you are the last to leave the courts,
please make sure the gates are closed and
locked. We have found them left open
overnight several times recently as well as
the clubhouse doors. Vandalism
has been a big problem in the past and we have
spent a great deal of money on secure
fencing and motion lights. PLEASE help keep
your courts in good condition by locking up!
None of us want extra repair expenses, right?
