Holiday Tennis Mixer By Dom DiGangi, djdigangi@gmail.com On December 10, the HP Tennis Assoc. (HPTA) hosted its annual Holiday Tennis Mixer, followed by appetizers in the Palms Dining Room. For our event, we had one session of tennis with over 44 players participating, playing five fun-filled round robins of tennis. Many players came dressed in their favorite holiday costumes, which help put everyone in the holiday spirit. For the Holiday Mixer, HPTA members donated over 180 pounds of food, exceeding last year’s donations by over 40 pounds. Donations were delivered to the Harry Chapin Food Bank prior to the holidays. Thank you all for your donations! Holiday Tennis Mixer on page 3
