GEPD Platform Membership

We have a Glen Ellyn Platform Tennis Club. Our purpose is to manage the tourneys, clinics, Leagues, and needs of the Platform Tennis Park District Members. Also, we are in the midst of a membership drive to show the Park District that this is a viable community sport (not a pet project) that provides all age groups with winter recreation and social activity. We also will be raising matching funds to add a permanent warming hut and 2 more courts. Our goal is $50k which we have matching dollars to turn that into $200k. We are presenting at the October board meeting on the 6th. We have 50 members currently signed up in advance. The more the better. Every person counts, so I am asking that you call the PD and get signed up. This gets you a Passcode and a Key. The passcode gets you online web access to reserve courts which is required to play. The key gets you in the warming hut/trailer (this comes in October). Mary Defiglia is the Park District manager in charge of the Platform program. 630-858-2462 ext 122. I would not take the time to write this if it wasn’t important. We envision GE as a Paddle Mecca similar to Winnetka and Hinsdale and a revenue source for the Park District.
