Saturday, May 19th, 2012

After receiving the flyers from the USTA, I discovered that the "Become A Volunteer" area contains a mistake. It states the training day will take place on Sunday, May 19th, from 9:30am - 12:30pm.

The date is correct, the DAY IS WRONG! May 19th is a Saturday, not a Sunday.

Please annotate your calendars accordingly.

Since we are hosting the training, I would ask that all interested in helping coach attend. The training is outstanding. It also serves as a nice kickoff event for getting our summer program off to great beginning. See you there.

Thanks, Bruce
