We’ve had a wonderful end of summer, and we’ve missed a lot of you who have been out playing in the sunshine! Now it is time to get back into those great workout habits established during the “rainier, colder” times of year. We are looking to begin a Photo contest that highlights all the great things you can do because you stay in shape here at BAC. Prizes will be awarded. Photos will be posted in the clubs and on our website. If you have photos you want to enter, get them to Bo (MemberServices@bellinghamathleticclub.com). We are very excited to see all the adventures our BAC members are having while away from the clubs.
This year’s tourney will be held in memory of Sharon Chandler, with a special ceremony on Saturday evening at the club. We have expanded the categories to include junior player age groups. We hope to see all of our budding junior players at this event! They will have singles categories and the fun doubles event of adults and juniors pairing together on the court! We will have players join us from the south and the north. Jessie Scott and Wanda Collins promise an outstanding event and will pair you up with a doubles partner if you need one. Wilson Racquetball has provided us with special raffle prizes. All monies will go to the local St Joseph’s Cancer Center.
