The annual Stratford Tennis Club awards presentation took place this past weekend. The recipients are as follows:
THE REBECCA MISKIN AWARD ( Member of the Year ) – Stuart Arkett
Stuart was a great assistance at the Club this season. From the early spring clean up, to the staining of the deck, to the torching of the weeds Stuart donated his time and expertise to make the Club a better place. He also played in the Tennis League and men’s night on a regular basis improving his game throughout the year. We thank Stuart for all he did for the Club this season.
THE JERRY JOHNSON AWARD ( Sportsmanship Award “For the Love of the Game” )
Adult Recipient – Pat McCarroll Junior Recipient– Ryan Lay
This award is in memory of Jerry Johnson who displayed a love and passion for the game of tennis and the Stratford Tennis Club. Pat was a constant presence at the Club this season, playing League and men’s night as well as most tournaments and with anyone who asked him to play. Pat was a leader in the men’s night fund raising campaign. His on court demeanor and off court assistance made him a great choice for this award.
Ryan Lay was a regular at the Club this summer. He volunteered at the summer camps helping out the staff, he helped with court maintenance and was a wonderful presence at the Club. One of the top junior players of his age group we hope to see a lot of Ryan in the future.
Many thanks to these and all the members who assisted the Club this season.
