Thanks to all that participated in this years tournament!   The competition was incredible in all the divisions.   The food was great and we enjoyed time with family and friends.   A HUGE  THANK YOU to our sponsors that helped us surpass our goal of raising $5,000.      We could not have done it without you.

Lastly -  I want everyone to know how much work Michelle DeMeza put into making sure all the final touches on this tournament were done…..perfectly.    From the goodie bags, to the signs and posters, to the food Friday night….the list goes on.    The raffle items/ ticket containers / posters all was done by Michelle.    Ernie and I couldn’t even begin to tell you how invaluable she is to help make this event such a success.    Remember, she’s a volunteer, just like Ernie and myself.

The summer racquetball league will start in late May.   Please keep your eye on this site or on the board at the YMCA.
