SSTC Weekly Newsletter – Fri. May 31

Property Update:
This season as water level on the Bay test historical highs, docks at the SSCA property are suffering the same problems many of us are experiencing at our own properties.
Currently SSCA staff along with local contractors, are working to limit damage and reset the north dock system by extending the anchoring chains. The south dock system will remain out of commission until an assessment can be made of their usefulness this season as water may soon be over the fixed dock along the shoreline.
For the present time, we’ll have to get a bit more exercise walking to the courts from the north docks.
Hopefully washrooms will be operational by this weekend. However, the drinking water will not be available as the purification system is not capable of dealing with this year’s turbid water. For the short term, bottled water fountains will be installed at the SSCA property until a permanent system can be installed.
Thank you for your understanding and patience.
Reminder – Clothing and Gear Orders
The apparel and gear for 2019 is here! This year, we have a variety of different tops, hats, water bottles, and tote bags for picnics! All of the clothing materials are made of a high-tech sweat wicking/cooling fabric. This is the most ideal for our hot tennis courts this summer.

Don’t Forget to Pay Your Dues!
Payment Options:
Your annual membership fee is $350 per membership and is due by June 30th 2019.  If payment is not received by June 30 – the fee increases to $500. Our Treasurer, Greg Cunningham, is pleased to offer different payment options for your convenience.
The preferred methods for paying for tennis club items are as follows:
• First – Interac bank transfer from your bank. This has the lowest fees to keep costs low. No password is required anymore. Reference your member first and last name in the email. Please email the transfer to the Treasurer at sanssoucitc@gmail.com.
• Second – Credit card payments. This option has higher fees, which are added to the member price. Go to the website at http://www.ssca.info and select ‘Dues payment’ from the ‘Tennis’ drop down menu.
• Last resort – Cheques are payable to Sans Souci Tennis Club. They can be mailed to the Treasurer Greg Cunningham at 24 Kingsgarden Rd, Etobicoke, ON, M8X 1S6. Please email Greg at  sanssoucitc@gmail.com when you mail a check, so he knows to look for it.
