Good afternoon everyone!
MAY MIXER
141 members of the LPC gathered at Mehaffey Park last Saturday for our annual Mixer. Everyone participated in a round-robin style format and played like it was the World Championships. It’s been a year and a half since we able to do a big event and it was great to see so many of you in one place again!
Great job by MARK HENRY putting the event together! A big thanks to his wife Lisa and Sandy and Bob Thayer for doing all the REAL work while Mark gets the glory! Sleep is overrated, Mark! And the event could not have happened without the assistance of everyone that came out early and helped with all of the set up and those that stayed late and helped get everything cleaned up and put away. Great team effort!
Congratulations to everyone for a great time and especially to all of our medalists!

This might be a good time for everyone to look at their ratings. If you did well, maybe you need to bump up .25. If you didn’t do so well, maybe drop down .25.
LPC SHIRTS AND HATS
We’re barely more than halfway to the number of shirts we need ordered to be able to place the order. If you’re considering placing an order, you have until May 31. If there’s not sufficient interest, we’ll have to cancel the order for this year and try again in 2022. Let me know if you have any questions.
PARKS DEPARTMENT SATURDAY LEAGUE
There is still room for one more team in the Saturday morning league that will begin play on June 5. If you’re interested, you need to sign up soon. Let me know if you need more information.
MENTORED PLAY
The Thursday evening Mentored Play sessions beginning June 3 are going to have some additional spaces available. If you are a new player and need some coaching, this might be an opportunity for you. This is not open for drop-in participation; you need to be approved to participate. Talk to me ASAP if you would like to be considered. This program is FREE. Mentored Play in June will be held at Sunnyside from 6-8pm on all four courts!
BEGINNER CLASSES
The Basic Skills classes for June are all full. Ten people each on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday evenings. These classes will be held on Centennial courts 1 & 2 from 6-8pm throughout the month of June.
There are still spots available on each night for the July sessions. You can talk to Pam McGee, George Richards or Bob Monroe for more information. Registration is through the Parks Department and the cost for the class is $40.
OSBORN UPDATE
Several factors have caused a delay in the construction work on the new courts at Osborn Park. Concrete was poured last Thursday and the courts should be ready for play in mid to late July. We’ll be playing on them before you know it!
See you on the courts!
