Thanks to Larry Loman and the SCMR Tennis Club Vegastennis.com's Marty Henessy Jr. Tennis Foundation visited Sun City MacDonald Ranch Community Center on Saturday April 4th, 2009. The children were so excited to join the citizens of McDonald Ranch in their Saturday morning tennis play. All children in the Foundation are required to attend an SAT Saturday course that also includes life skills and h eating a healthy lunch at a local health food store. This Saturday they had a special exception. "We took eight of our top juniors and played a few exhibition matches. Then we played a team doubles format . Each child was paired with an adult and everyone had a great time. Wisdom was gained by the children and tennis tips were given to the adults." said Hilliary Heard executive director of the Marty Hennessy Foundation. |
McDonald Ranch really enjoyed adding a little spunk to their Saturday morning fitness routine and the kids were the perfect fit." It was a joy to meet such a social and very talented group of teenagers. There's not a better way to spend a morning. I really enjoyed watching and "trying" to hit the ball with them. We will certainly show up again if the occasion arises," said Pauline Ives a MacDonald ranch citizen. The Marty Hennessy Foundation is looking to join efforts with MacDonald Ranch in hopes of raising money to support a new tennis program at St. Judes Ranch. |
