SYTC's Opening Mixer Saturday June 15 featured a Hawaiian shirt (and lei) theme and attracted more than twenty enthusiastic doubles players on a warm sun-filled morning. Friendly competitive play was the order of the day as Club Manager Steve Francis - sporting a brightly colored Hawaiian shirt filled with tropical beachy images - whistled teams on and off the court every twenty minutes to note scores and change match-ups. Steve reports that his spectacular shirt once attracted a spontaneous purchase offer of $200 but not even a great offer could get him to part with the precious apparel. In an exciting Final match Barbara Roach and Will Towner (member Susan Towner's husband) prevailed over Leslie Hathaway and Joe Roach 6-4.
