Summer Social/Tennis Exhibition/BBQ
Once again, the summer social con-
ducted on Sunday, Aug. 11, was well at-
tended and was a huge success. The
event started with an outstanding ten-
nis exhibition organized by Charbon-
neau tennis professional Craig Koess-
ler. The exhibition featured the follow-
ing tennis pros: Craig Koessler, Scott
Erickson, Brian Leahy and Mpaleng
Paul Khothule. Lacey and Macie were
the ball girls.
The exhibition was followed by a very
enjoyable BBQ catered by Curry’s Land-
ing Restaurant at the Charbonneau
Country Club BBQ area. The BBQ was
complimentary for the benefit of club
members and their families. About 92
club members were in attendance.

had some of the best, and well-connected
tennis professionals in the area. The
Charbonneau Tennis Club board will
make every effort to continue with this
tradition. Having a quality lesson and
clinic program is critical to our success at
being an elite tennis club. We wish Craig
well with his new teaching opportunity.
Projects
Q Implementing the new outdoor
membership on a trial basis is expect-
ed to be complete by Sept. 30. At the
end of September, the Charbonneau
Tennis Club board will decide whether
to continue with the new outdoor mem-
bership or to discontinue it. Currently,
28 Charbonneau residents have signed
up for this new membership. So far
there has been very little negative
feedback so it appears that the new
membership will be retained.
