New Tennis Ball Machine

December 15, 2012
Hello Everyone-The new tennis ball machine has arrived and it is available  for anyone to use.  Please read the instructions on the use of the machine.  The  manual is in the hopper.  Also check our website under rules and  regulations in regard to when you can use the machine.  The machine is very  expensive so please treat it like it was your very own machine and that it has  to last for a very long time.
Enjoy the new machine and let me know if you are having any problems with  the use of the machine.

Keeping a clean club house

September 26, 2012

Hello fellow Club members – This is to remind everyone that our Club house/meeting room is a self cleaning unit.  This means that if you make a mess then it is up to you and your group to clean it up and then recycle.  If the recycle or the garbage cans are full, please take on the responsibility of taking home the full bags and putting the Club trash with your own trash.

If the Club floor is really dirty please feel free to use the vacuum cleaner in the far right closet and vacuum the floor.  It is also a very good idea to wash any dirty dishes.

Thank you in advance for your help in keeping our Club house clean.

Regards – Bill Gipe


Welcome Back!

September 4, 2012

Hello to all and welcome back for the start of the 2012/2013 indoor tennis season at the Quaker/Aurora Tennis Club.

Here a few things that you may want to know in regard to the upcoming season.

(1) We have six new members this year. When you get the chance please welcome-Dennis McCarthy, Frank Banasik, Mark Ackley, Jeff Jones, Bob Barrett and Jeff Murphy.

(2) The Club is at full membership and we have a waiting list.  Please contact Elaine Idzik if you know of anyone that wants to be put on the waiting list. Currently there is a need for female players at the 3.0/3.5 level.

(3) A new ball machine is on order and it is a big improvement over the current machine.  If you are interested in more details please talk to Jeff Breidenstein.

(4) The Club has a website-quakerauroratennis.com and Fred Bristol is our web master.  The web site is password protected and the code is our door code.  Take a look at the site and please let Fred know what you think of the site and what else needs to be added to the site.

(5) In case you missed it, our dues have been reduced this year.  Single membership is $600.00 and family membership is $900.00.

(6) The Club’s year end meeting is Saturday November 3rd.  Meeting starts at 6 PM.  Plenty of refreshments and a chance to try the new ball machine or just play some tennis.

Finally-Don’t forget to sign in when you play tennis.  I know that this isn’t always number one on your mind when you are ready to play but it is very helpful for the people that do the reserved court time scheduling to know when and how much the courts are being used.  Plus don’t forget to sign in your guests.  Our Club is a real bargain but it isn’t free.

Have a great tennis year.  Let’s all have fun and stay healthy.


New Defibrillator

March 3, 2012

Hello Quaker/Aurora Tennis Club Members – Good News!

The Club now has an onsite defibrillator installed on the wall on Court 1.  I have attached a You Tube video that explains how to use the Philips HeartStart Onsite Defibrillator. (Thank you Tom Siener for providing the you-tube link).   Tom Siener has volunteered to conduct additional training at the Club if enough people are interested.  Let me know via e-mail if you want to have this training.

One other note – Please sign in before you play tennis at the Club. If you have a guest please sign in the guest and your name on the left hand side of the sign in sheet.
