This is a reminder that there is just one week before we hold the Kickoff Barbecue to the 2011 Phil LeBlanc Memorial Tennis Tournament.  This is a family event and all members are welcome.

The barbecue will take place on Saturday, July 16th from 5:30-8:30 PM and will be open to all members (rain date to be Saturday, July 23rd).  Admission is only $5.00 and it will cover your food, drinks and a raffle ticket for a number of door prizes at the end of the evening (see below).

The event will feature a number of events including the following:

Like previous PLMT BBQ's, the proceeds from the event will be deposited into the Phil LeBlanc Memorial Fund which is administered by the Community Foundation of Ottawa. Should you wish to make a donation to the Fund at the BBQ, volunteers will be on hand to assist you. If you are making your donation by cheque, they should be made out to the Community Foundation of Ottawa (Memo: Phil LeBlanc Memorial Fund). If you require a tax receipt, we will take down your mailing information. The foundation offers tax receipts for donations over $20.

If you cannot attend the barbecue, but would still like to make a donation, volunteers will be at the tennis club throughout the week to take your contributions.

Should you have any nutritional concerns (i.e. vegetarian dietary needs), please e-mail me along with any additional inquiries you may have.
Hope to see you all July 16th.
Regards,
Patrick LeBlanc
Tournament Co-ordinator
