ANNUAL CLUB PARTY A GREAT SUCCESS!
Our Annual Club Party was another wonderful success! It was great to see so many members come together for an enjoyable evening of friendship, laughter, and good company.
A sincere thank you to everyone who attended and helped make the evening such a memorable occasion. Events like these remind us that Quaker Aurora Tennis Club is about more than just tennis — it’s also about the friendships and connections we share both on and off the court.
We look forward to many more opportunities to get together. Thanks again to everyone who made the evening special!
BOARD OF DIRECTORS ELECTION UPDATE
It’s almost time to elect members to the Quaker Aurora Tennis Club Board of Directors!
This year, we have five candidates running for three open board seats. New candidates Tessa Flores, Bill Heiler, and Donna Ledwin are joining incumbents Pete Ryan and Carl DiNatale on the ballot.
We would also like to recognize Matt Czechowski, who has decided not to seek reelection after serving on the Board. We sincerely thank him for his time, dedication, and contributions to the club.
Interested in Serving? There’s still time! If you’d like to be considered for a position on the Board, please contact a current board member or email us at quakeraurora@gmail.com.
Ballots will be emailed on November 23rd, so be sure to watch your inbox! As a reminder, single memberships receive one vote, while family memberships receive two votes.
Your participation helps shape the future of our club. We encourage everyone to take a few moments to cast their votes!
Thank you for your continued support of Quaker Aurora Tennis Club!
WINTER REMINDERS – HELP KEEP OUR CLUB SAFE!
With winter weather just around the corner, we’d like to remind everyone of a few simple precautions to help keep our club safe and our courts in great condition throughout the season.
Parking Lot Safety: As snow and ice accumulate, please park a few feet away from the building. Snow and ice can slide off the roof unexpectedly and potentially damage vehicles. If you notice icy conditions in the parking lot that need attention, please notify a board member so we can arrange to have the area salted.
Keep Our Courts Clean: Please remember to change out of your street shoes and into clean, dry tennis shoes before stepping onto the courts. Snow, salt, and moisture tracked in from outside can damage the court surface and create slippery conditions for players.
Thank you for doing your part to protect our facilities and keep Quaker Aurora Tennis Club a safe and enjoyable place to play all winter long!
CLUB FACILITY UPDATES
Roof Inspection – Good News!
We recently had our clubhouse roof professionally inspected, and we’re pleased to report some encouraging news! Thanks to the club’s ongoing commitment to regular maintenance and timely repairs, the roof is expected to remain in good condition for several more years. This is a great example of how staying on top of maintenance helps protect our facility and avoid costly repairs down the road.
New Ceiling Fans – A Work in Progress!
You may have noticed our new ceiling fans in action! The fans are now set to their winter settings, directing air downward to help circulate warm air throughout the club and keep the playing area more comfortable during the colder months.
The fans are also programmed to turn on automatically in the morning and shut off in the evening.
As with any new system, we’re still working out a few kinks. Occasionally, the fans aren’t turning on as scheduled, but we’re working to resolve these issues.
We appreciate everyone’s patience and understanding as we fine-tune the system and continue making improvements to our club!
UPDATED MEMBERSHIP DIRECTORY NOW AVAILABLE!
Our membership phone and email directory has been updated for the new season and is now available on the club’s website!
We encourage all members to take a moment to review their contact information to make sure everything is accurate and up to date.
If you spot an error or need to make a change, please let a board member know so we can update our records.
Keeping our directory current helps everyone stay connected, both on and off the courts. Thank you for helping us keep our club community informed and connected!
