IX.
Membership Coordinator
Susan reported that she has been contacted by an individual who wants to be involved. There
was discussion that we needed a membership coordinator, and what will we offer our
members for their fee. Jane is going to contact Alaska Club about discounted fees for
members. There was also discussion about providing coordinated information on the website
about everything tennis in Alaska so members can participate in other activities.
There is concern about communicating with our current new members. Jane will email them
and let them know when the next play day is as well as when we will deliver t-shirts to them.
ACTION ITEMS: Susan will get the printer paper in Anchorage for the iron-on, Sue will
get the t-shirts Jane will let her know what sizes for the new members (7), as well as
Traci and Susan. Jane will contact Mark and find out if we can use the press.
Traci will post a membership drive note on the Wasilla Wonderland and MSTA
Facebook pages in case anyone wants to join. This will help us get a final number for tshirts.
X.
Club Tennis
Susan reported that the response has been great. We have 20-25 members and have been
meeting with them on Thursdays and hitting in the Commons and outside depending on the
weather. The plan is one day a week meeting, and weekend play at Wasilla or Palmer courts.
We are meeting with them tomorrow to do some long term planning. Field trips to Anchorage
to play indoor over the winter are a possibility.
ACTION ITEM: Traci is going to send a note with MSTA and club information to
Catharine Esary as well as Admin secretaries at PHS, WHS, PJMS, WMS, and CMS.
