Mt. Aggie Tomorrow at 4

Howdy!

Happy Saturday to everyone!  Tennis club is taking on Mt. Aggie tomorrow during practice (at 4).  If you aren't familiar with Mt. Aggie, it's that mound right next to the intramural courts.  It's made of astroturf that is watered and turned into a glorified slip 'n slide.  There will be plenty of sleds to go around, so come on out and get as close as you're going to get to sledding down a real mountain in College Station. 

Thanks to everyone who came out to the last practice Wednesday.  I've looked over the footage we shot and I'm pretty sure we have some Oscar material on our hands.  Best actor goes to Scott Motl for his 'chatting with babes' bit. 

See y'all tomorrow on the slopes!!

Last Practice

Howdy!
 
Tomorrow will be the last tennis practice of the year, so get one more good hit in before finals soak up all your fun.  Fyi, we're planning on shooting some video for next year's promo video at practice tomorrow.  If you want to show off your acting talents or just want to be in the video, then come on down.
Don't forget about Mt. Aggie this Sunday! 

You stay classy, Tennis Club

ELECTION RESULTS!

Howdy Ags!


It is with great excitement that I announce Patrick Haines as the next president of Texas A&M Tennis Club.  He has been a dedicated member and officer to this club for the past three years, and I can assure you that this club is in good hands for the upcoming year.  Joining Patrick as Vice President will be Rudy Contreras, yet another very dedicated and enthusiastic leader in our club.  Ana Sanchez will also be returning as Treasurer for a third consecutive year.  Once again, I cannot say enough about the dedication and enthusiasm these three elected officers have for Tennis Club, and I look forward to watching the club grow bigger and better over the next year.

It has been amazing being president of this club over the past two years.  There have been lots of changes and challenges, but overall I feel like the club has grown a lot and is primed for yet another year of domination on the Tennis On Campus circuit.  While I will no longer be involved in the day-to-day decision making of the club, I will still be around at club while I finish up my master's degree (5th year....WHAT'S UUUUPPPP!).  I hope to still be a passionate leader on whatever team I play on, and I hope that my love of the game will continue to infect all of you on the court.  Thanks for making this club the greatest collegiate tennis club in the nation, and I just hope that each of you know that no matter what team you're on (Team 1, Team 6, or Team 15) YOU MAKE THIS CLUB AMAZING AND WHAT IT IS TODAY!

Over the next week, the club will enter its transition phase and the new set of executive officers will choose the rest of the non-executive officers that will help them lead this club into the future.  Don't forget to come out to Mt. Aggie on Sunday, May 1st from 4-6pm for Tennis Club's snow day!

Thanks and Gig 'Em!

Make sure y'all come to practice on Sunday, May 1rst from 4-6 because Tennis Club is taking on Mt.

Practice/Elections

Howdy!
 
Texas A&M Tennis Club will be having practice tomorrow from 4-7 at the intramural courts.  Come help Team 1 get ready for nationals next weekend!!
 
Don't forget to place your name to run for an officer position.  The deadline is tomorrow!
 
Elections for the 2011-2012 Officer positions will be coming up April 5th-23rd.  Texas A&M Tennis Club is a student organization run by four executive officers: President, Vice-President, Treasurer, and Secretary.  There are also several non-executive officers that contribute to the governance of this club.  The four executive officers are elected by popular vote, while the non-executive officers are appointed by the executive officers.  For the time being, we will start accepting requests to be added to the ballot.  A full description of each officer position's duties can be found here.

If you are interested in running for any of the executive officer positions or want to be considered for one of the non-executive officer positions, please send a reply to the following email: tamu10selection@gmail.com

We will stop accepting election ballot requests on Sunday, April 3rd at 11:59PM.  That's tomorrow!!! Your response should be in the following form:

NAME:__________________________________________
EMAIL:__________________________________________
EXECUTIVE OFFICER POSITION(S):_________________
NON-EXECUTIVE OFFICER POSITION(S):_____________

Being a club officer comes with a lot of responsibility, but it can also be extremely rewarding to see the club grow and develop under YOUR guidance.  Please consider being an officer for next year, whether it be an executive or non-executive position.  Also, do not be discouraged if you are "ONLY a Freshman (or Sophomore)."  We need younger members, more than ever, to step up and lead this club.  Please feel free to ask any of the current officers about being an officer and their experience with it.  We look forward to an excellent group of officers for the 2011-2012 school year.

Thanks and Gig 'Em!

NOTE: PLEASE REPLY TO THE ELECTION ADDRESS (TAMU10SELECTION@GMAIL.COM).  ALL ELECTION FORMS SENT TO THE REGULAR CLUB EMAIL WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED.
