Dear IHSTCA Member

Dear IHSTCA Member:

What a crazy spring it has been this year. Maybe Mother Nature has decided to let spring out of her cage. As for the southern part of the state, we will probably skip the spring like temperatures and head right into the heat of summer. Whatever type of weather you have been experiencing; let’s hope the worse is gone and we can finally keep the boys’ season rolling. . . I think this graphic says it all!

On a serious note--It occurred to me that if I didn’t know these board members prior to sitting on the board. Many of our members don’t know them either. So in the upcoming newsletters I will highlight a board member. It’s my hope that you realize the amount of time and energy these board members donate to improve our sport of tennis in Illinois.

Sincerely,

Carrie Watson, President
