MEMBER’S VOICES
One member asked to have access to clubhouse when a board member is not at the courts. The board has discussed this and suggested having a port-o-let for them to use. It would cost about $700 for the season. The board does not feel that the clubhouse can be left open unsupervised. Rosie mentioned that we normally have programs every evening of the week so it would be open then. If we had an attendant for 20 hours a week, it would cost us about $6000. This decision will be looked at by the 2022 board.
Another member today asked if those playing doubles are fully vaccinated. We will defer this to next season and will follow the guidelines provided by the city of Mississauga.
Fawzi mentioned that the new locking system has worked well. Our costs for next season will be lower since we will not have to purchase keys for all the members.
We should take down the screens soon since it is becoming cold and we do not want to store them when they are wet. We will shoot for the last week of October. Rosie will start taking the screens down with help from the Round Robin on October 26th , if the weather cooperates. Rosie will send out an email to advise the board if/when she will start.
We need to ask the city to shut water off.
Fawzi asked if the city has responded to our queries about the repairs that are needed at the club. Sharlene told Maria to be patient because they do not have as much staff as usual. A roofer will be coming soon to see if it need repairs. Maria asked for them to move the spout that is draining onto the tennis courts. Maria will contact the city again next week. Edward noticed that some of the workers leave the interior door unlocked/open when they leave. Maybe that is how the raccoon entered.
Stephan won the men’s singles ladder.
Renata won the women’s singles ladder.
Maria acknowledged Jay for all his hard work especially with membership and the website for the past few years. She also acknowledged Michelle for helping with the committee this season. Everyone thanked Maria for all of her hard work and dedication especially with dealing with the city to make all the improvements at the club including the courts and fencing.
