Summer Tennis clinics and Social
Tennis enthusiasts, it’s time to get out your tennis racquets and get ready for Club tennis on Monday evenings. Every Monday evening we host tennis at the Plumas Tennis Courts throughout the summer. The play is doubles “mix and match” social tennis. Participants are set up with different players of similar ability throughout the course of the evening. Tennis players at an advanced beginning level and above are welcome. 
Play begins promptly at 6 pm (5:30pm starting in September) so you are advised to come earlier for warm-up.
The cost is $3 for members to cover the cost of balls and court reservations; $5 for non-members. When necessary, priority for play is given to Club members. So tennis players, come join us on the courts! For more information contact George Fisher at 425-4016. (Click here ... to see photos). No tennis on Labor Day (Sept 5th)
This informal group meets on the 3rd Saturday of each month. Hikes are scheduled in various places 
of interest, usually only a few hours or less from Reno. This group does not provide automobile, personal injury, or any other type of insurance for hiking injuries. It is just a way to enjoy companion hiking. We use a free Yahoo site to communicate information between members. If you're interested in joining us, here's the address. Please include a short message including your real first and last names, and just a little bit about yourself. I no longer reply to unknown E-mail addresses without real name, nor am I opening unknown E-mails on my personal E-mail address. Please use the Yahoo site from now on, thanx!! Just follow the prompts after you type in the address below. Several new members have joined in the last few weeks! So the computer sign up DOES work!
