Tennis Fleet Donlei Darnell

Asian cuisine was the featured food at the January KYC Tennis Fleet Potluck on January 9. The tables were more tropical looking with the new fleet tablecloths made from fabric donated by Linnea Brooks and made by Donlei Darnell ; black background bark cloth with red and pink flowers. The January tournament had 19 players and was organized by prospective member Richard Le C ler c with seeding done by Greg Siok. It was a beautiful day for tennis and play went on from 8:30 until after N oon. The winners for this first play of the year were Women : 1st - Linnea Brooks, 2nd -Terry Beuret, 3rd - Sherri Phillips and Donlei Darnell. Men : 1st - Rob Rietow and Bob Babyack, 2nd - Richard LeClerc, Harvey Minsky, and Ko Isayama, 3rd - Bob Yoder and Aaron Phillips. Additional players were Steve Brooks, Betsy Denzer, Jean Mark and Mom Fernie, Keegan Giles, JoAnn Goebert, Pam Isayama, Susie Jannuzzi, and Lynn Pease. The Co-Fleet Captains, Rob Rietow and Kit Beuret, have come up with a very fun schedule for the fleet this year. There will be the two annual large tournaments with the Tom Collins in May, and the Clare Lang in September instead of October. Each of those months will have a catered dinner in the evening so players don't have to worry about potluck dishes on those busy days and also encouraging spectators to watch the finals in the late afternoon. Our famous Shrimp Boil Potluck will again be in August although the location will be at Doug and Margaret Peebles' home. And in June we will have a Courtside Barbe c ue directly following the round robin tournament. December will find us feasting on a catered dinner in the Long House as we usually do. The other months will have a special theme for food and you can read them all on the poster on the bulletin board. Being a member of this very active and fun fleet does not require Bob and Dew Babyack playing tennis, although it is a lot of fun! The dues are $20 a person a year. There are forms in the office you can fill out and leave with your dues. Just ask that they be left in the Tennis Fleet box. You will be welcomed with good companionship, good food and lots of fun…….
