Tennis Committee David Callot and Jamie Porsella Win Tennis Member Guest at WCC Thursday, August 11th The annual ULC Tennis Member-Guest Tournament was held at a new venue this year. Thanks to the efforts of member Carl Lopp, the outing moved to the grass courts of Westchester Country Club. With a clear blue sky and perfectly manicured grass courts, it was a dream setting for ULC’s tennis enthusiasts and their partners. After 40 games of very competitive round robin tennis, the top four teams were within single points of each other. David Callot and his partner, Jamie Porsella bested Carl Lopp and Joanna Roth in the final to win the title for the fourth consecutive year. Following the event, participants enjoyed cocktails courtside and the fine company of just a great group of players. Special thanks to Christine Rafalko, our official scorekeeper, and to Jessica Lyon for her organizational efforts.
