Our Summer Social, which included a clinic by Josh Bates and Gustavo Sanchez, followed by Mix ‘n Split play was a success for all those attending. Everyone walked away with something to focus on and it was fun to practice all shots and strategies. The next clinic and fall social will be in early October. These events are open to all Sun Lakes residents and guests. Look for an e-mail flyer or check the club bulletin board for details.
The Community Garage Sale includes tables put out by the IronOaks Tennis Club. The event is November 1. Please help support your club and the social events by donating gently used items. Check the bulletin board for drop-off times as the date approaches.
A Holiday Dinner Dance is planned for December 6, so mark your calendars now and plan to wine, dine and dance (to DJ Jamal) at the Oakwood Country Club. This fun holiday event is open to all IronOaks tennis and Pickleball players as well as our Fitness Club staff and members. Tickets are $35 and sign-up begins November 3.
