I would like to announce that Debby Dutton will coordinate CTC's Recreational World Team Tennis league taking over for me as family, career and CTC require more of my attention.
Debby has been a player in the Connecticut Tennis Circuit Challenge and WTT leagues since 2001. Debby has agreed to partner with me to continue to offer and run the WTT Rec leagues under the CTC banner and web site at tenniscircuit.com.
Debby and her husband Joseph Sherman are exceptional tennis friends to whom I owe endless thanks. The CT tennis community and CTC in particular, are fortunate to have them in and on our courts.
Debby has also recently become district coordinator for USTA Team Tennis - a role that will undoubtedly provide synergy between competitive USTA and recreational WTT team tennis offerings in Connecticut.
Both Debby and I are looking forward to a fun-filled WTT season this spring and the continued growth of tennis in Connecticut.
Please congratulate Debby and give her your full support!
Teams are forming now for the 2008 CTC World Team Tennis season which runs May 19 - June 30.
Email Debby at ctc@playWTT.com to start a team or join one.
