The Tennis Committee hosts this free event for adults only. There is a no-host bar and free food provided to fuel players through some fun games with MAC tennis pros. One of the more popular events is the speed-serving contest for men and women. Last year’s men ended up in a dual between Carsten Gleeson and Greg Crawford. The current record is more than 100 mph. Elise Orban is the current women’s record holder. Tennis memory waxes and wanes but the consensus is her serve speed stands at 87 mph. There will be tennis-related prizes for games like pegging strategically placed cones. Players went home with T-shirts, hats, tennis balls, new grips and more last year. Buy raffle tickets for the balloon pop and win prizes. This is a free event for all skill levels. Sign up at
theMAC.com or call the Tennis Office at 503-517-7592 and leave a message. Quick register: TE019

Courts 5, 6 and 7 have been resurfaced recently; please wear non-marking soles on the courts to keep them bright and fresh. With today’s multicolored soles, sometimes it is hard to know is a shoe might leave a mark. To test a shoe’s sole, go to an area behind the curtain or off court and rub the shoe side- ways. If there is any residue – not just black, but white or colored – the shoes are not meant for a tennis court. For those who forgot shoes, check The -M-porium for a new pair. The MAC carries several brands and styles. The club’s budget allows for resurfacing only every few years, so please take care of the courts and keep them in excellent condition.
Joe Conyard, of MAC’s sectional- winning 3.0 men’s team, plans to play in the MAC doubles tournament.
