ACAC REVIVES ITS INDOOR FACILITY 
9/18/06

ACAC recently refurbished its indoor tennis facility and members are more than happy with the results. 

"We are absolutely pleased with ACAC - they've been wonderful in what they've done so far," said member Barbara Klein.  ACAC took over the ownership of the Midlothian club from Riverside Health System last year.

"When I walked in the first day, it was fresh and cheerful and inviting," said Pat, who has worked the tennis front desk for about eight months. "It is a major transformation. Our members just love the change."

Updating included redoing the Premier Courts in bright blue and green, improvements to lighting fixtures and new air conditioning.   "Before the A/C was added, I hesitated sending my daughter to indoor clinics, it was so hot inside," said Candace Moose.  "Now, I can't keep her away.  We love it here now!"
