My take on River Oaks

Hello all,
 
River Oaks has meant so much to Cathy and I over the past ten years.  To even think that the club might be closing makes me sick.  Who would have known that attempting to swing a tennis racquet correctly (still have not quite figured that out), would lead us into a world of wonderful new friends.
 
Over the years we have been members at multiple clubs.  Some new and high tech, but lacking in thought when it came to the tennis program.  Some had a good tennis, but lacked any amenities.  River Oaks has it all.
 
Sure, the club may be a little dingy around the edges, but what club do you know that has so many wonderful homemade planters?  The truth is, R.O. has a wonderful homey feel...at least to me.
 
Those of you that have played USTA know that our club does things that other clubs do not.  Paying for team fees up front...even to the point of paying expenses for teams involved in the playoffs. 
 
Heck, most of the people I know, including myself, have swiped at least $300 of free court time after PCT or drill (except when Doreen was working..lol).
 
I could go on and on....
 
Your dog is at the door...go wipe off his feet with your stolen River Oaks towel...then grab your checkbook and take a chance :)
 
Tell your friends...Love you all!!

Start the year off right. Easy ways to stay in shape in the new year.
