Now it is my pleasure to give back to the sport for a lifetime that has given so much to us. For the next two years, I will be serving as your president. Leading this association is a big job. Thankfully, we have lots of talented and experienced people working to deliver a great tennis experience to our members and customers. Marlynn Orlando has joined us as the new Executive Director of Middle States. We also have a new board of directors and new committee leadership and members. You can review details about these dedicated people on our < middlestates.usta.com> website, under the “About Us” link. With the support of our staff and volunteer leadership team, I want to build upon the successes of the past that have made Middle States one of the best sections in the USTA. “Serving Tennis to All" is the vision statement of USTA Middle States, and that will be my focus for the next two years. Our vision statement supports our level 1 strategic priorities of community development, diversity, membership and customer service. Three reasons this is so appropriate for our section at this time: 1. We are “All” connected by our love of the game. Whether as an adult or junior recreational player, a league player, tournament player, coach, official, volunteer or fan, you wouldn't be reading this unless you cared about tennis. 2. “Serving Tennis” reminds us that providing service and support to our customers, members and partners is a key part of delivering a great tennis experience. We build more customers when we fulfill our mission “to promote and develop the growth of tennis”. 3. “Serving tennis to all” reminds us that tennis is open to anyone who can swing a racquet, have a conversation about or watch tennis. We are a diverse group from all racial, age, gender, cultural, social, economic, adaptive and physical backgrounds. Whether from public courts or private clubs, from inner cities to rural pastures, from top athlete to health aficionado, tennis is for all. We have lived our vision. We have provided a historically significant contribution to the national and sectional leadership team. Jane Brown Grimes, from our section, the current president of the USTA is the second woman to hold this position, (the first woman president Judy Levering, is also from Middle States). Yours truly has the honor of serving as the first African-American president of our association. 22 sectional volunteers currently serve on national committees. If you like to join the team as a volunteer, please visit our website <www.ustamiddlstatess.com> and follow the link named “I'd like to volunteer”.We can always use more hands, more minds and more smiling faces to help us carry out our mission “to promote and develop the growth of tennis”. On behalf of the entire Middle States team, I wish you a great 2007 season. Please join us in “Serving Tennis to All”. Malcolm Riley. President, USTA Middle States NetPlay • Spring • 2007 • servingtennis@ms.usta.com • 610 935 5000 5 Middle States Invest in the Future Middle States Patrons’ Foundation Helps You Make a Gift and Grow the Game of Tennis One of the best-kept secrets and hidden gems of Middle States is its charitable arm, the Middle States Tennis Patrons’ Foundation, Inc. The Patrons’ Foundation is best known for playing host to the section’s annual hall of fame dinner. But what it should be more widely known for is all of the grants and scholarships it provides to our junior programs and players. As the Patrons’ Foundation board begins a new two-year term, we would like to share the background on the Patrons’ Foundation and how you can help support tennis in our section through charitable giving. The Patrons’ Foundation is no different from other wonderful nonprofits like the United Way, or the American Red Cross, and it is a real asset for our section to have its own charitable foundation. The Middle States Tennis Patrons’ Foundation is the fundraising organization and 501 (c) (3) charitable arm of the Middle States Section. It was incorporated in 1973 as a nonprofit, tax-exempt entity. The Patrons’ Foundation is equipped to accept all forms of charitable gifts – cash, stock, appreciated assets and charitable bequests – and these contributions entitle the donor to tax advantages. The Patrons’ Foundation has a very specific charge: to raise money for grants to tennis programs in the section. Patrons’ targets mainly junior players with need and emerging junior tennis programs across the section that need a little extra nudge to get up and running. Patrons’ is also exploring broadening grant usage to adult programs and court and tennis facility renovation. Grants from the Patrons’ Foundation are made through the Middle States scholarships and grants committee, which reviews grant requests on a quarterly basis. Gifts to the Patrons’ Foundation help make up about 20 percent of these grants. The other 80 percent of the grant money comes from the section budget. Junior players, Community Tennis Associations and others are encouraged to explore the grant opportunities we offer. Please visit ww.middlestates.usta.com and click on the left-hand tool bar under the Patrons’ Foundation for more information about the grants available. John Herbert Williamson (known as Jack to friends and family) was born Jan. 20, 1923, in Belfast, Northern Donors receive a tax deduction and avoid capital gains tax, and the Patrons’ and the section Ireland.

    Gary Bedingfield’s Baseball Volume 3, Issue 27 in Wartime Baseball December 2009 www.baseballinwartime.com info@baseballinwartime.com www.baseballinwartime.com in Wartime baseballinwartime.blogspot.com Merry Christmas from Baseball in Wartime Greetings to you all! Yes, it’s that time of year again and I really can’t believe how we got here so quickly. I also can’t believe that this is the 27th issue of the Baseball in Wartime Newsletter. It was in September 2007 that I put together the first two- page edition of this newsletter as a way of sharing information that did generally fit within the scope of the Baseball in Wartime website. Things have certainly grown since those humble beginnings and in October I launched the Baseball in Wartime Blog. The issue I am now pondering over is whether there is still a need for the newsletter in light of the existence of the blog? Do the newsletter and blog serve the same purpose? The advantage of the blog is that it is updated daily, providing you with a constant update on WWII baseball news together with regular features. The newsletter on the other hand, is a monthly release but has the advantage of being printable and is delivered right to your email inbox. I guess, at this stage, I’m looking for feedback. If I get enough positive response for the newsletter then I’ll gladly keep producing it on a monthly basis. If, however, you would rather access this type of information via the blog, then I’ll phase out the newsletter over the next few months.
