Tennis Update from Sonny Spratlin / ROSRC Tennis Chair

GREAT NEWS for ROSRC!!!  We have partnered with the Brookwood High School Varsity Girls Tennis Team by assisting them with some of their match play this season.  Starting the week of February 22nd, the Brookwood Varsity GirlsTennis Team will be playing some of their matches at our club.  There will be six to seven matches played over the next six to seven weeks.  Matches will be played on different days during the month.  These matches should not interfere with any of the Alta League play and other associations will be able to work around scheduled matches.  Their matches will be played on scheduled dates from 3:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m.  Any rain-outs will potentially be rescheduled at other participating clubs.  The first match is on Tuesday, February 23rd, the second match is scheduled for Tuesday, March 2nd, and the 3rd match is scheduled for Tuesday, March 8th.  The remaining schedule is coming up and will be posted soon.  Please come up and support the Brookwood Varsity Girls Tennis Team.

We have a great turnout for our ROSRC Tennis Community during all seasons.  We would like to start a Beginners Mixed Doubles Team for the Summer Session of Alta Tennis. With all of our current teams playing at a high level, this really doesn’t allow for those that would like to play tennis, but don’t play at a high level, and opportunity to play and have fun.  If you are interested in playing on a beginners level Alta Team, please contact Sonny Spratlin at [email protected].  Please let him know by March 23rd as this is when  the rosters open for registration to see if we have enough for a team.  Please talk with your friends and let’s get people interested in coming out to play TENNIS!!!

If you are interested in taking TENNIS LESSONS or joining a TENNIS LEAGUE, please contact Sonny Spratlin at [email protected]

A LTTLE TIDBIT ABOUT OUR BOARD MEMBERS

President – Maryanne Brown 

I would like to welcome everyone to our beautiful club. My name is Mary Anne Brown and I am the President of this fantastic place. I have been an active member since we joined in 2000. My husband Dan and I have 4 grown adult children and have been enjoying the club for many years. I am also a teacher at Gwin Oaks Elementary and love seeing some of my old and new students enjoying our club. I would like to wish all of our members a Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year. 

Vice President – Lulie Dunham

My family has been members of the club since 2006. My children have grown up in this close-knit community swimming on the swim team and playing recreational tennis on our courts. We have made many long-lasting friendships over the years. The club backing up to our property brought a unique vested interest. I have previously served two terms as the Pool Chair during the recent renovation and a year as President. I look forward to serving our community as Vice President. My goal is to ensure members continue to enjoy the club and build long-lasting memories with their families. 

Treasurer – Erin Thompson

My name is Erin Thompson and I am your new Treasurer.  I am a math teacher and Math Department Co-Chair at Brookwood High School. I am also the Senior Class Sponsor, Director of Football Managers, Sponsor/Coach for Brookwood Ultimate Frisbee, and in charge of the Diamond Girls for Brookwood Baseball. I am married to Matt Thompson (a software developer and the program director/head coach for Brookwood Ultimate), and we are the proud parents of Walden (5th Grade, age 10) and our twins, Ezra and Fiona (Kindergarten, age 5). We are very active in our community through our kids sports, including River Oak Rapids. My family loves our Brookwood community, and I am very excited to get more involved with River Oak Swim and Racquet.

It is about that time of year.  Less than a 1 month before we close our pool.  With that said, here are some “housekeeping” items and updates!
1.  ROSRC has been blessed this season with remaining open!!!  Positively Pools and our Members have kept our environment clean & safe!   Thank you to all that contributed to our staying COVID-Clean and helping around our Club.  A special THANK YOU to  Christie Burton for signing up many NEW members this season!  With all the new members comes a few ooopsies.  We did have one or two incidents where a GLASS baby jar of food was at the pool, as well as, a GLASS bottle of beer.  PLEASE NOTE: ROSRC is a GLASS FREEenvironment.  NO GLASS of any type is permitted.  We understand babies need food and recommend the squeezy plastic type or transfer glass food into a plastic tupperware please!  Adults, beer also comes in a can & is pool friendly!!!
2.  It was brought to the Board’s attention that people have been using the diving boards during “swim at your own risk” time.  NOTE:diving boards are NOT to be used when a lifeguard is not sitting in a lifeguard chair.  
4. Work credits still available.  We are recruiting ROSRC Members to help beautify our grounds.  Please reply to this email if you are interested and I will let you know what dates and times are available.  
5. NEW GATE HOURS:9/2 – 9/3:   7:00am – 8:00pm (Wednesday & Thursday)9/4 – 9/5:   7:00am – 11:00pm (Friday & Saturday)9/6:           7:00am –  9:00pm  (Sunday)9/7:           7:00am –  8:00pm (Labor Day – Monday)

7. In early August, some of you noticed some problems with our toilets, shower stall and water hoses.  With much patience, determination and fierce efforts of the Board Members, we were able to keep our Pool and Tennis Courts open!  We replaced a portion of the plumbing pipeline that were destroyed by tree roots and also had to take down some trees that had some nasty roots or were simply rotting.  The pool’s main water pump was also fixed.
8.  Frasier Roofing will be replacing and updating the rooftops on our main pavilion, tennis pavilion and announcement board as soon as the pool closes.  Thank you to Phillip Moussakhani and Frasier Roofing for helping ROSRC with this enhancement,  
9.  In early August, ROSRC lost a few pool umbrellas during a bad storm.  ROSRC replaced several BLUE and both RED lifeguard umbrellas.  When all the umbrellas are open… our Club looks AWESOME!
As always, ROSRC thanks all of our Members and their Guests for keeping ROSRC Safe & Awesome!  Please be careful during this holiday weekend.  ROSRC will be open and it looks like super weather for our Club!  
God Bless America & Keep Us All Safe
