Hello to
all. We hope everyone has made it safe through Gustov. This
has been a rough several days for us all and I have finally been
able to get the resources together to post this message online.
Everyone here in Baton Rouge is safe and accounted for. We have
not been able to get to the office as of yet due to the storm
and slow return of resources. I hope to get there tomorrow and
check on things. Power is slowly being restored in the Baton
Rouge area and we hope the rest of the state gets back to normal
as fast as possible.
We know there are a lot of questions that need attention and we
will be working hard to get them answered. As for Mixed State
and Senior Mixed, we are on hold until we can assess the
situation. We certainly are optimistic however realize the many
many challenges which face us.
We ask for your patience and wish you and your families a speedy
recovery. As we know more we will post information here. Be
patient with email as we are experiencing some technical
difficulties which we hope to have corrected soon.
Thanks and best wishes!
Freddy Bailey

This summer the 82nd National Public Parks Tennis

when the first National Public Parks Tennis Championship (men
only) was hosted in St. Louis, Missouri and to 1930 when the
women’s first championship was held in Washington D.C. at the
White House during President Hoover’s administration. This
prestigious event is held in a different city each year and the
last time it was in New Orleans was 1935. The tournament is open
to all USTA members and includes both junior and adult events.
