2016 Member Guest Tournament The 2016 Member Guest Tournament was a huge success! The Tennis Committee would like to thank each and every player, spectator and volunteer that helped make the weekend such a fun event. We again find ourselves very fortunate to have so many generous sponsors and donations to help in the success of the weekend.

We would also like to thank Davis Outdoor Construction for being our Title Sponsor for this year’s tournament. Davis Outdoor Construction has donated $2500 in services (not reflected in financial report below) to Sterling on the Lake Tennis to renovate both lower court bathrooms to include tiling the floors, adding beadboard to the walls, painting, replacing the sinks and cabinets, and installing new fixtures. The bathroom renovations should be complete very soon.

Member Guest Financial Report: Sponsorship, Registration Fees, Sales at Tournament = $6215.38 Tournament Expenses = $4280.31 Total Account Balance After Tournament Expenses = $1935.07 25% Net Proceeds to Special Pops Tennis = $483.77 Ending Tournament Balance = $1451.30 Tournament Champions: Women’s Green Bracket: Rosemary Baez and Katie Fullem Women’s Yellow Bracket: Tamara Maellaro and Katie Benzinger Women’s Blue Bracket: Tricia Kerul and Lee Yarrell Women’s Red Bracket: Kristen Roy and Marlene Goodall Men’s Green Bracket: John Lee and Brent McKeehan Men’s Yellow Bracket: Jay Williams and Billy Stogner Men’s Blue Bracket: Joel Ortiz and Graham Marsh Men’s Red Bracket: Mike James and Bradley Gober The Tennis Committee will be providing a check to Special Population Tennis, Inc.
