Hello Barrhaven Tennis Club Members,
Sign-up sheets will be posted by this weekend for this year's fourth annual Phil LeBlanc Memorial Tennis Tournament which will be taking place on July 22nd-29th with a kickoff barbecue on July 21st from 5:30-8:30.
The previous two tournaments have been a great success due in large part to you the members of the Barrhaven Tennis Club. We have been able to raise $4500 over the past three years to the Phil LeBlanc Memorial Fund (fund created by the Community Foundation of Ottawa).
