Just a reminder that the dedication of Deri’s plaque will be on October 11th from 2-3 at the club. This will be very brief and anyone who wishes to speak is most welcome to do so.
There will be a brief reception with the family afterwards at the club. Beverages and simple snacks will be provided. This is rain or shine.
Even if you did not know or play with Deri, let’s have a decent turnout for the family.
Also, there will be a celebration of Deri’s life at Mad River Glen on Sunday the 12th from 2-4.
P.S. Please check the lost and found in the club house. There are lots of items there including a folding chair.

2024 Season Wrap-up
Triples during the 2024 season
As we approach the 2025 season, there are some fond memories from 2024 which we haven’t yet shared.
New net posts and nets were installed in 2024.
MRTC held a Women’s Exhibition and social potluck on Sunday afternoon/evening July 28. The event was organized by Lee Delfausse and refereed by Peter Delfausse. The four women, all 5.0 teaching professionals from Burlington who have played on numerous New England Cup teams, put on quite the entertaining show with great skill. Peter presented the winners with Wheaties cereal featuring Billie Jean King, sure to be a collector’s item.
Labor Day Tournament: Six teams competed in a round robin in beautiful weather on Sunday morning of Labor Day weekend. Competitors and members who came to watch the final enjoyed a potluck luncheon featuring numerous, delicious hand-crafted offerings. The 2024 champions were the Nagy team–Andy and his up-and-coming high school star, daughter Tess! Thanks to everyone who helped make this event an enjoyable success!
Three sessions of Triples were planned with potlucks at Levin’s, Delfausse’s and Goldman’s. Many clinics and lessons were held. Some members played in the VT Senior Games. A fun season was had by all!
