Dear Members&Prospects, Welcome to the 2009 season at Oakmont Tennis Club. This year highlights our 90th year anniversary as a not for profit organization which is dedicated to offering tennis and fitness to the Lehigh Valley. Your membership to Oakmont is special. It now supersedes the expectation of not only having the finest facility possible but also being a proud part of the history of our community. We are all aware of these turbulent times we live in. Having said this, I believe it's important to remember our Club has endured World Wars , the Depression, Recessions and major on going social changes. Some of our Club members have first hand accounts of many of these. I assure you Oakmont will endure this economy and is postured in the right direction. Some question the reason for Oakmont's endurance and success. Was it some magic potion that founder, Harry Weilland and the other World War One veterans and Charter Members put in the red clay back in 1919? I suggest the answer is simply that the magic potion, is the exhilaration they received from playing Tennis . What ever skill level, we have all felt it, and want more of this exhilaration. Then there's the other natural nesting effect which evolved at Oakmont . This natural occurrence has inspired Club members and friends over the past nine decades to work so hard to perpetuate the club in a non self serving manner for it's members. It's so important to understand that we are not your typical tennis facility structured as a for profit center. Rather, our mission is simply to meet budgeted expenses with a goal towards giving you and your families that exhilaration you crave as active members and to prudently prepare for the Clubs future. That's what we've done .... for ninety years!! I want to thank my fellow board members for their continued hard work and dedication to Oakmont. I'm fortunate to have the wisdom of so many talented board members and volunteers. Understand that I never take your time and efforts for granted. You are to be commended for your dedication to this journey and willingness to be proactive members. Special thanks to the members who assisted in the club's close out phase. This help goes a long way towards the solvency of the club and once again I hope you got that special feeling from helping out your club. Thank you. In conclusion, please take a few moments to review the attached information and forward your membership application, sign-up forms and check as soon as possible. We plan on beginning the start-up phase in early March and will open courts promptly as mother nature permits. Ear mark your calendars for March 22 as a tentative volunteer club start-up event. We will begin general e-mail informational correspondence in early March. Respectfully Yours, | |
