​On Wednesday morning June 26 th , SYTC’s women filled all six courts for a fast-paced “meet
and greet” round robin. Steve Francis designed the format to match every player with a different
partner against two different opponents for six 15-minute rotations. Upon arrival at the Club,
each player drew a number between 1 and 24 and downloaded a photo of the draw sheet to
their phone. For each round, the draw sheet was consulted to find out which court the player
moved to next. After tennis, socializing continued with a delicious buffet luncheon of potluck
dishes and desserts. Throughout the morning, comments heard from participants included
“Wow, this is so fun!” and “I’ve met so many women I didn’t know before”! To which we can
reply, “Mission Accomplished!”

Despite questionable weather forecasts, the first two social events of the SYTC season went off
without a hitch. On June 9th, the “Second Sunday” faithful filled all six courts for a fun mixed doubles round robin
followed by a delicious potluck brunch on the club patio. We welcomed new members Lisa and Bill Flaherty and sang Happy Birthday to group leader Rick Coffey.

Saturday afternoon June 15 th turned out bright and sunny for the Season Opener and “Meet the Board” event . A “sold out” mixed doubles round robin included several Board members and new member Trish Rivers. More Board members and players’ spouses joined for dinner. A cookout featuring burgers, chicken, and delicious potluck sides, and welcome remarks from club President Stan Werlin, rounded out a perfect summer evening at SYTC.
