September 2010 PRO’S REPORT

GREAT NEWS!.......
Yes....the courts passed inspection this morning. The park is closed Monday for
holiday.
Come Tuesday, it has been a long 6 weeks but many positive things have come out
of all of this. I do want to personally thank all of you for being so
understanding. Now we all, as RPRA members, have a reason to be proud of our
facility and to help maintain their beauty.
The RPRA Board, will be rescheduling the "Grand Opening Member Appreciation
Social" and will get the date out on that soon. We have more landscaping
planned and may be asking you all to help us with that.
Court equipment - here's where we really need your help. All of us are aware of
the financial problems around us and particularly with county departments like
Parks & Rec. RPRA has to now take care of equipment such as rollers, brushes,
caddies/waste baskets, etc. We can no longer ask Parks & Rec for help with
these items as they have in the last few years. As Captains, I am asking you to
pass the word to your players to be a little more aware. When you have finished
using the rollers/squeegees please hang them up to prevent them drying with a
flat side and cracking.
If you see kids climbing the fence, pulling back the fence to get a ball,
throwing rocks, coming onto the courts with cleats or anything else that might
damage our new fence or court surface, please ask them to stop or get the court
attendant. These are your courts and a great facility.
Ladies - when you call in your reservations for Tuesday practice you may now
request the hard courts. Please remember however, it is first come, first serve
on the courts and please only 2 courts per team. The reservations are put down
in the order in which come on the recorder. THURSDAY matches are now back to
the original court assignments...no more farming off to Kiwanis. We were
fortunate to have Kiwanis at our disposal.
Well, I think that covers everything. Now let's PLAY HARD AND HAVE FUN!
