Amanda, Mel, and Tracie tied for 2nd place with 19 points. The games were very competitive and fun at the same time. The social was held at the new Highlands Sports Bar on Laurel Street. December tournament winners: First place for the women went to Imelda Mendoza. Second place went to Sarah Ehler. Eugene took first place on the men's side and Nagesh Kittur took second. The tournament was followed by an ugly sweater party in the evening at the home of Steve and Robin George. Thanks to Mel for finding such fun spots to celebrate great tennis and friendship and to Robin and Steve for hosting the Holiday party. Shout-out to volunteers for making the tournaments a success, Mel and our Social Committee, Akosua Grant, Sarah Ehler, and Robin George for the draw, Steve George for court set-up, John Moyer for refreshments and all volunteers for great pics and their help with the tournaments. 

We had fantastic turnout for our themed tournaments and socials this 2024 season. A small increase in dues helped strengthen our financial position, increasing revenue which helped to provide tournament necessities and prizes along with support for our social events and local donations. Our active membership remains strong at 53, with tournament participation steady, general membership slightly up, and social membership down. We appreciate our relationship with Redwood City Parks and Recreation and their continued support of tennis throughout Redwood City. We look forward to new members and playing fun and exciting tennis in the new year!
