GREETINGS:

IT HAS BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE I HAVE WRITTEN A REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF HAFFEN PARK SPORTS ASSOCIATION.
THE 2009 JUNIOR/ADULT TENNIS INSTRUCTION PROGRAM IS COMING TO AN END ON JUNE 20, 2009.
THE PROGRAM PROVIDED TENNIS INSTRUCTION TO 13 CHILDREN AND SEVEN ADULTS.
THERE IS LITTLE DOUBT THAT THE PARTICIPANTS CAN NOW ENROLL IN THE NYC TENNIS IN THE PARK PROGRAM.  THIS
PROGRAM WILL BE OFFERED AT HAFFEN PARK, ON MONDAYS AND WEDNESDAYS FROM 1:00 TO 4:00 PM.

THE HPSA PROGRAM DIRECTOR, MS. LAVERNE PAULING, PROVIDED GREAT LEADERSHIP, AND DESPITE THE RAINY
DAYS, WAS ABLE TO FINISH THE PROGRAM ON TIME.
WE WOULD ALSO LIKE TO THANK RADIANCE GODOY, AND OMAR DIAZ, WHO FILLED IN AS ASSOCIATE INSTRUCTORS.

THE MEMBERSHIP ROLL CONTINUES TO GROW, THANKS TO THE TENNIS INSTRUCTION PROGRAM, AND THE EFFORT
OF OUR MEMBERS, SUCH AS LORETTA MACFARLAN, JASPER HARRISON, AND JOYLAN WILLIAMS.

MEMBERS ARE URGED TO PLAN AHEAD FOR LADIES DAY, WHICH IS SCHEDULED FOR AUGUST 9, 2009.
WOMEN AREQUEENS FOR THE DAY, AND ALL MALE MEMBERS OF THE CLUB WILL BE AT THEIR BEHEST AND COMMAND
FOR THE ENTIRE EVENT.
THERE WILL BE A COOK-OUT, AND MUSIC WILL BE PROVIDED BY ANDY CYRUS.  AS USUAL, GUESTS ARE WELCOME.!!

ON JUNE 14, 2009, WE WERE HOSTED BY ST. NICHOLAS TENNIS CLUB.  I WOULD LIKE TO THANK MS. LINDA VERDUN, RAUL,
AND THE OTHER MEMBERS OF THE CLUB, WHO MADE OUR VISIT EXTREMELY ENJOYABLE AND FUN!!!
THE FOOD WAS EXCELLENT, AND THE TENNIS COMPETITIVE.
NEXT YEAR(2010), HPSA WILL BE THE HOST CLUB AT HAFFEN PARK.
I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO THANK AGNES AARON, DARLENE MURRAY AND STEPHANIE, WHO REPRESENTED THE CLUB
MOST ADMIRABLY.  THEY WERE RECENT GRADUATES OF THE TENNIS INSTRUCTION PROGRAM!!!!!!!         WHAT!!!!!!!!!!

THE LADDER COMPETITION IS BEING CONDUCTED MAGNIFICENTLY BY JASPER HARRISON AND DELROY DAVEY.
THE LIST OF PLAYERS HAS INCREASED TO SIXTY-SEVEN (67), INCLUDING THE WOMEN PLAYERS.
THOSE PLAYERS ON THE LADDER MUST REMEMBER TO PLAY THEIR MANDATORY MATCHES WITHIN THEIR GROUP,
IN ORDER TO QUALIFY FOR THE YEAR-END TOURNAMENT CONPETITION.
SO FAR THE LEVEL OF COMPETITION HAS BEEN GREAT, AND MORE MATCHES ARE BEING PLAYED EVERYDAY,
WEATHER PERMITTING.

ACCORDING TO MIKE BROWN, THE DISTRICT 12 PARK MANAGER, THE RECREATION DEPARTMENT HAS ORDERED
THREE NEW NETS.  WHEN THEY WILL ARRIVE IS ANOTHER MATTER.
THEY WILL CONTINUE TO WORK ON THE LIGHTS.

MEMBERS ARE URGED TO CALL FELLOW-MEMBERS, AND FIND OUT HOW THEY ARE DOING.  SOMETIMES A SIMPLE
“HELLO” WILL LIFT OUR SPIRITS AND DISPOSITION.
BY THE WAY, RAY BURTON AND THELMA THURIEL CONTINUE TO IMPROVE AND ARE DOING MUCH BETTER.

OUR NEXT MEETING WILL BE JULY 11, 2009.  THE DATE WAS MADE IN DEFERENCE TO THE JULY 4TH HOLIDAY.

WIMBLEDON BEGINS JUNE 22, 2009.  IT DOES NOT APPEAR THAT NADAL WILL BE ABLE TO DEFEND HIS TITLE.
FEDERER IS FAVORED ONCE AGAIN!!!!
LETS GO WILLIAMS!!!!!!!!!!!

SEE YOU AT THE NEXT MEETING, AND
STAY WELL

FREDERICK D BROWN
