BON
AIR MIXED MEMBER TOURNAMENT HONORS U.S. PRESIDENTS
July
2-7, 2007
|
Who
needs a fancy country club to pull off a fun week of tennis partying?
In
fact, with members manning the grill, players providing their favorite side
dishes, and event organizer extraordinaire Bob Steele combing the city (OK it
was just the Dollar Store) for perfect player prizes -- Bon Air Community Center
capped off its 4th of July Week Mixed Member Tournament under a gorgeous summer
evening sky.
The
'mystery-date tournament', where players' partners names were pulled from a hat,
made for some interesting match-ups!
With
his trademark slogan: "It doesn't get any better than
this!" Bob Steele handed out trophies to not only winners, but EVERY
participant in the tournament. Of course, every "prize" had an
explanation. The post match prize parade lasted until - well, it seemed
like until-- the wee hours of the morning.
With
many new members, Bon Air looks forward to its next tourney -- over Labor
Day. "This time you get to pick your member partner," said
Bob. "You won't be stuck with a dud like [you got] this week."
