On Saturday, April 20, the courts at the Rossmoor Tennis club were buzzing with activity as the club hosted their semi-annual showdown against longtime rivals from The Villages.  It was a beautiful spring morning, and after a brief warm-up session 12 teams took to the courts for two-set doubles matches, consisting of women’s doubles,  men’s doubles, and mixed doubles.   This event, a favorite amongst Rossmoor players,  always provides a great opportunity for players of all levels to test their games while making new friends.  When play was completed The Villages had eked out a narrow two-game victory over Rossmoor.   Afterwards everyone enjoyed a scrumptious  picnic lunch in the picnic area.

Once again, the Rossmoor Tennis  Club hosted a wonderful Christmas party.  Kudos go to Laura Townsend and her husband, Jim, who put together a festive and scrumptious dinner for over 200 tennis fans.

Part of the celebration was recognition of outstanding club volunteers , and President, Al Peters presented those awards to Carol Pillsbury and Chris Slee. 

Carol Pillsbury was a mainstay to the Club for the past 10 years. She served on the Board of Directors from 2017 to 2019 as Social Director, Vice President, and President. She was instrumental with the organization of wildcard tournaments, inter-club, matches, and served on the information technology committee. She is currently the captain of the women’s B1/2 team.

Chris, the club tech wizard, has been the go-to expert on all technology issues, as well as organizing and moving the Club website to a new vendor, Wild Apricot. Chris was a board member from 2018 to 2022 and was key in managing the various tournaments that the club offered.
