Vice President - Al Peters

  • The new plaque has been hung at the kiosk with Mary Hickey and Lenny Cook's names added for their service to RTC

Secretary - Barbara Landberg

  • No report

Treasurer - Ken Steiner

  • On !2/19/22 we had $11,039.60  in the bank and about $540  more in expenses to pay out. In 2023 we can beef up our social events with the extra funds.

Tournaments - Chris Slee

  • At the last general meeting, Chris passed around a sign up sheet for volunteers to help out at tournaments and he got a good response. There are still some open slots and e mail blasts will be sent out.

Social - David Hickey

  • Our holiday party had 64  people this year and we generally have closer to 100. We collected 120 toys that were donated to the Shriners Children's Hospital in Sacramento. It was suggested that we survey the membership about what they would like for social events next year. Many single people leave or do not come with dancing and we might consider doing team games next year. Al, Emily, and David will work on a survey. Do we want to do something other than a Valentine's Party or at a different time? We can use extra funds to provide more special food or drinks at the barbeques. We could also provide more food at tournaments. If we decide to have an extra party we need to contact recreation to see what rooms are available and when. We can also increase our subsidies for parties. It was suggested that we could have stand up tables for cocktail parties and games like Truth & Lie, Also Linda Hague could collect photos and have a slide show at a party. 

Membership - Terry Quinlan

  • As of 12/19/22, there were 101 renewals which is half of the usual number .  People are encouraged to do on line applications. 

Facilities - Jerry Quinlan

  • All new balls have been placed in the ball machines.
  • In November 1624 people signed up to play tennis which is an average of about 55 per day. 
  • 4 extra chairs are needed for the courts
  • $125,000 has been dedicated for the tennis courts and Larry will talk with Jeff about the company chosen to do it and the quality of their work. Courts 7 & 8 were not done correctly last time and Larry will call Barbara Blum about them.
  • Saviano had some good reviews and some not good for resurfacing
  • Cheyanne is another company and First Serve did the work previously

New Business

a motion was made and approved to put lights up in the picnic area and barbeques could start later (Mary Ann Shield or Bob Benz has them)

Lenny Cook suggested a monthly noon get together with food at the tennis courts

Jan. 21st Lunar New Year barbeque was suggested

Drop In Tennis on weekends for people working Mark Parham will look into this

Mission Hill in Fremont is interested in having mixed doubles matches with Rossmoor however it would entail  traveling to San Jose or South Bay and their club is not a seniors club so many players are a lot younger

Heather Farms will take old tennis racquets as well as our old balls

Sherry and Eugene might want to have a few old raquets for people trying out tennis.

Next Meeting ... Jan. 16th at 1:30 in the Bunker Room at Creekside
