Recruiting for Atlantic Cup Team 2019

Dear Tennis4All Members —
It is my great honor and privilege to be serving as this year’s Atlantic Cup captain, and in that esteemed capacity (i.e., the role that nobody else wanted), I am writing to ask that you consider representing our great organization in our effort to dominate our rivals (on the tennis court not the bedroom, you pigs). Boston will compete in a team tennis competition at the Harvard courts on August 10th and 11th against NY, DC, and some other insignificant city from a state that voted to install The Donald as President (payback time!). The team will be composed of players from each level (Open, A, B, C, D and XXX … don’t ask, but lets just say Buldini has this one covered) at both singles and doubles. The multi-person event will be reserved to the after-party and is strictly BYOS&H (Bring your own swings and harnesses). Last year we came in second place, but with the home court advantage we have a real shot at victory! Should we not win, there may or may not be a contingency plan already in place to acquire the trophy through a clandestine operation, but lets hope it doesn’t come to Conall streaking across Cambridge to cause a distraction while Mike Dineen quietly drops the trophy into his strangely inconspicuous beach bag.

If you would like to play on the Atlantic Cup team or simply want more information please email me at brianjfrasier@gmail.com. Spots will fill up quickly, and I’d like to get some practices going so please do so quickly!

Best wishes,
Captain Chlamydia (aka Brian)

Boston Tennis Classic – HELP and RAFFLE ITEMS NEEDED

Dear Tennis4all members,

Did you know that this year’s Boston Tennis Classic (BTC) has earned Masters (think Jedi NOT S & M) status from the Gay and Lesbian Tennis Alliance (GLTA)? It also won the Best Large Tournament for 2018!

This year’s BTC will take place June 14-16 at the Beren Tennis Center at Harvard University with a banquet on Saturday night at the Ben Franklin Institute of Technology.  The Tennis4All Board of Directors want to make this year’s tournament the best ever.

You are probably thinking ? “How can I help?”

WE NEED RAFFLE PRIZES!!  As part of the tournament, there is a raffle that supports a charity, New England Wheelchair Sports. 

We are looking for high quality raffle items that can be used by people who travel from all over the world. Great items include hotel stays, airline tickets (does anyone work for an airline?), gift certificates to places like Tennis Warehouse, Grand Slam tickets or anything else that you might be able to think of. Please let me know if you might be able to help! 

What else do we need? VOLUNTEERS!!

PEOPLE TO WORK THE TOURNAMENT DESK – this would involve greeting people, putting matches out on court and collecting scores.

BANQUET SET UP AND BREAK DOWN – this would involve helping set up and break down the banquet at the Ben Franklin Institute – have a gift for decorating?  Don’t keep that talent a secret!  Help us!!

Thanks for your support.  Let’s showcase our great city and make this year’s Boston Tennis Classic the best ever.

Sincerely,

Steve Menichetti, President of Tennis4All
