Officers/That'll Do It

Howdy!

Thanks for coming out to Mt. Aggie on Sunday.  I kinda almost felt like I was sledding on real snow for a second.  But that'll just about do it for the year in tennis club.  There won't be any more practices because y'all should be studying for finals now. 

I would like to announce all of the officers for the 2011-2012 school year:

President
Patrick Haines

Vice President
Rudy Contreras

Treasurer
Ana Sanchez

Secretary
Brent Hametner

Competition
Scott Motl
Matt Hillestad
Laura Pelaez

Fundraising
Jonathan Brower
Michael Martin
Laci Lyckman

Social
Teaghan Avrett
Michael Burgess

Recruitment
Zack Johnson
John Pickren

Historian
Erin Mitchell
Nadine Hulleman

Congratulations to all the officers for the coming school year!!
 
Also, congrats to the men's tennis team for winning the Big 12 Championship this last weekend!!  A&M tennis is doin' it big on all levels this year.

Well, that's just about gonna do it for me.  Hopefully my emails have been bearable over the year, but I've enjoyed writing them at least.  This will be the last one for the year (except maybe one from JBrow).  I have enjoyed being secretary for the past year, but I'm psyched to be your president for 2011-2012.  I'm really looking forward to the year, and I'm pretty sure were gonna keep doin' it BIG.  I'll be seeing y'all next year!!!

And that's all he wrote.

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!
