Becca Friday & Sophie Curl to run in Junior Nationals

OK, I know this isn't about tennis or something at our club, but I am just so proud of two fantastic young women who are competing in 800m at the USA Junior Outdoor Track & Field Championships this weekend (June 25-28) in Eugene, Oregon. It will show on ESPN on Saturday and the prelim races are scheduled to begin at 2:20pm. They are facing probably the toughest competition they have ever had.

As many of you know, Sophie Curl is Betty's daughter. For those of you who don't know, Betty (one of our Customer Service Reps) pretty much runs the Club and is our unofficial social director, making sure you know someone from the moment you walk in our door.

Becca Friday is my daughter's best friend since second grade and our families are very close. Becca has faced many personal challenges this last year and is simply an amazing gal.

I've known both girls since they were very small. It is a wonder to me to watch them, my own kids, and all their great friends grow up to be such splendid young adults. Sophie & Becca graduated from high school this year; Sophie from Squalicum and Becca from Bellingham High School. Sophie is headed off to University of San Francisco and Becca to the University of Oregon where their running programs are eager to have them. Lucky they are! Good luck to both girls in this weekend's event. ~ Robin Robertson

Junior Team Tennis on June 20th & 21st was a great success! I want to thank all of the BTC kids and parents for helping out. Special Kudo’s for parent captains Janet Clawson & Ford Martin. Without these parents these events would not happen. We had 5 teams of 3 boys and 3 girls compete all weekend long with noticeable improvement in play and tennis knowledge in all. I want to Thank our own TJ Tipton and USTA’s Mark Toppe for a great effort before and during the event. We look forward to keeping the momentum going!

We hope you will enjoy the washed courts, cleaned carpets, touched up paint, and general renewal of the Club. Thanks for your patience during our closure, and welome back!

Ultimate Body Makeover Challenge Success!



Our Challenge Winners Lana & Gwen

We had a terrific 6-weeks of our Ultimate Body Makeover Challenge where participants paced themselves to shape up! The Challenge began with a kick-off party where participants had the chance to win prizes - with the grand prize of a Bio-feedback Session with Templeton Health. Once the program began, each participant was provided with weigh-ins and measurments along with a comprehensive "how to make a change" manual. WOW....did we ever see results! Of the 22 people who started the program, 12 came in for the final weigh-ins and lost a total of 97 pounds and 8 feet of girth! For those who weren't able to attend the final weigh and measure, don't worry, we know you are making progress!

It being a challenge, of course there were winners! Winners were determined based on the number of inches and pounds lost. Check out our "Biggest Losers"...
