Rally Like You Mean It

Onion Creek Tennis outdid itself at the Inaugural Rally for the Cure!  Three hours of tennis, followed by a lunch, and oh, yes, SHOPPING!





And all for a great cause.  We had newcomers, old-timers, future Wimbledon champions (see right). We even had some golfers stop by to "help" us with lunch on the lawn.  Beautiful weather, great food, great tennis, and great company made for an event that we will all look forward to every year.  Even if there weren't cupcakes.  But there are!

For all the good times, we must remember what we're fighting against.  This is a cause very close to Jenny's heart, and our honor flags brought in a goodly portion of what we raised.   Let's make sure that we honor and celebrate those we have lost and our proud survivors!

And let's not forget the silent auction.  Members and friends donated many tempting items to help us raise money from wine sets to tennis balls and bags to music to lawn care.  We so appreciate everyone who so generously gave.  AND we are so grateful to everyone who bid.  Here are some of our enticing offerings:

The day ended with our door prizes and gift bags.  Not a bad party favor in the least.  And we left with many great memories of tennis for a great cause.  See you next year!
