Last Saturday evening we had a very successful EATF Spring Mixed Doubles Round Robin. We had 50 people participate which was amazing! Some great tennis, fun socializing, delicious food, and fabulous facility. All for a GREAT cause making it all the more fun!!
I didn't take many pictures as I was out and about talking up our foundation to guests who were rotating out of the tennis round robin. Not one of our committee members is employed. I never thought to highlight this point because we all know that we are volunteers and we do this to better the sport that we love so much. But apparently it makes a HUGE difference to our guests as they love the fact that 100% of their money goes to our grantees!
I am so blessed to be a part of such a wonderful group of women and organization!
