The 119ta initiates a sponsored tennis clinc
As an association we have always been consicous that the 119th Street courts are situated within a very diverse neighborhood, and that within our community there are those who cannot afford tennis lessons, let alone a tennis racquet. It was a great pleasure to find ourselves in a position to be able to sponsor lessons for a few youngsters from the Dorothy Day Apartments (part of the not-for-profit group Broadway Housing Communities.) However, we wouldn't have been able to initiate this without the support and generous donation of the necessary equipment. A big thank you to Woody Schneider of Grand Central Racquet. We hope to be in a position to continue our sponsored program next year, and would welcome the involvement of a commercial associate!
