Our club has grown to over 650 members, and we are incredibly proud of the community we’ve built. However, many members are surprised to learn that {Organization_Name} is 100% volunteer-run. Currently, a small team of just eight people manages everything you love about the club.
To ensure our social calendar remains vibrant, we are looking for a few more people to join the team as Social Event Coordinators.
The Opportunity: We are looking for individuals (or pairs of friends!) to help manage our seasonal rotations:
Summer Series: One person or pair to run 3 socials.
Winter Series: One person or pair to run up to 5 socials.
While we don't require a formal contract, we are ideally looking for people who can stick with us for 1–2 years or more to help provide some consistency for the membership.
The Perks: We know your time is valuable, and we want to show our appreciation:
Free Annual Membership: Your club fees are on us for the year(s) you volunteer.
Play While You Lead: You are encouraged to play in the socials you organize.
A Seat at the Table: You’ll be invited to our monthly board meetings to share how your events went and help shape future socials. (Attendance is "as available"—we know you have a life outside the courts!)
The Role: It’s simpler than you might think. You’ll handle communication with the registrants (generally up to 56 max), coordinate with the facility manager (Winter/Indoor), and create the player draw. You’ll also be the "on-court" lead to help things run smoothly and coordinate changeovers
Your Vision: Finally, if you’ve ever walked away from one of our socials thinking, "That was great, but I’d do it a little differently," or "I have an idea to make this even better"—this is your chance! We aren’t just looking for helping hands; we’re looking for fresh perspectives. We welcome your ideas and will give you the autonomy to put your own stamp on the event..and help you along the way!
Want to help? If you love our socials and want to ensure they continue, please reach out to our President, Gordon Rulon. We’d love to have you on the team!

A huge shout-out to Mary Salsich who is hosting her last Wash Park Tennis Club social tonight at Meadowcreek. Mary has served on the board since 2014 and will be sorely missed. We thank Mary for her years of dedication and service to the club and community. Wishing you all the best, Mary!

Congratulations to the Men’s 4.0 USTA Adult 18 & Over Wash Park Orange team who participated in Sectionals in Salt Lake City, Utah on August 9-11.
"We ended up 1-2 with a win over Idaho & a really close loss to Nevada on Friday, and then a blow out by Utah (likely winners of nationals again) on Saturday. We had a couple guys that wanted to play singles against Utah, but the doubles lines were all drawn out of a hat by the USTA official. We figured we'd have some fun with it since we were out of contention and the Utah team was very good (example: their D1 team had been partners in high school and won a 6a state championship in 2018)".
Members include: Matt Whitmer, Jake Hugenberg, Tim Fitz, Chris McCarthy, Brandon Kalusa, Greg Hamilton (c), Jack Stanley, Chad Whitmer, Lionel Pomerantz, Ryan MacDowell, Tyler Hagnauer, Justin Weigle.

WP ORANGE – Men's 4.0
Our men's 4.0 team - WP Orange - is heading to Salt Lake City to compete against other top teams after winning districts in Denver! According to captain Greg Hamilton, it was a bit of a roller coaster season. "We lost our first week of league, so it wasn't looking like we'd get any post season play. Then, the team that beat us finally picked up a loss in week six which opened the door for us to move into first, and then we had some clutch wins in the post-season." Congratulations to Greg, Tim Fitz (co-captain), Kirk Arza, Tyler Hagnauer, Matt Whitmer, Brandon Kalusa, Jake Hugenberg, Ryan MacDowell, Chad Whitmer, Andrew Goodwillie, Lionel Pomerantz, Christopher McCarthy, Justin Weigle and Jack Stanley. Way to represent!
