Volunteer Wall of Fame: Our recent tournament required the substantial efforts of over 100 club member volunteers, as well as a few non-members. We want to thank all of you who contributed your time and talent to make this tournament a huge success. You know who you are, and we want everyone else to know too. We have created a page on the website thanking you all for your tremendous efforts. The link is HERE and on the front page of the BPC website.
Proposed Board Member Changes: Scott Moyer (Bio HERE) will be joining the Board as Vice President and Director of Communications. We are excited to have Scott taking a leadership role in the club and he is excited to step up and take on that role. AJ Fraties will be leaving the Board and Kirk Foster will become President. Irene Fraties (Player Development) and Werner Zehnder (Courts Use) have agreed to extend their terms to provide continuity of leadership in these critical roles. Proposed changes to be confirmed by members at the General Meeting.
Referee Certification: The USAPA has created a Referee Certification program with standards aimed at developing professional level referees. The certification process involves testing and observation of referees by USAPA Registered Trainers. Each candidate must pay a fee to participate in the process. The Board has approved a proposal whereby the Club will pay the participation fee for a limited number of club members who have volunteered substantial time to referee at BPC sponsored tournaments.
Lost & Found: Outdoor play at PNP is still going strong. The Lost & Found boxes are FULL! Please check these boxes for anything that may belong to you. When we end summer operations at PNP, items in these boxes will be donated to a local charity.
3.0 Men RR: Attendance at this session is dwindling and the mainstays are asking all 3.0 men to sign up and play!
