3 A LETTER FROM THE TENNIS COMMITTEE CHAIR Dear PCC Members, Now that March is here, we are looking forward to winter melting into spring, and ultimately the outdoor play of summer. Even in the indoor season, the Tennis Program at PCC has continued to grow for both juniors and adults. The Tennis Committee and professional staff, led by Director of Tennis & Paddle Greg Bowser, have been working together to continue to improve the seasonal program offerings for both indoor and outdoor tennis for juniors and adults. Our exciting programs will continue to offer something for everyone including juniors and adults of every level, from new to advanced. We are also offering more customized adult group lessons, organized playing opportunities and, of course, private instruction for juniors and adults. As always, please or call the Pro Shop or any of the Pros at if you have any questions, or for guidance regarding where you would best be placed in our many exciting offerings. Keep swinging! Sincerely, Marjorie Shiekman Tennis Committee Chair 2
