Announcements:
House Leagues:
A super thanks to our House League Coordinators Kevin and Jamie for their contributions to ACTC. We could not have a league without support from our volunteers so a big shout out goes out to you 2 guys and also Neil who is handling the member registration side of ACTC member participation.Both Monday and Wednesday leagues are at full capacity thanks to your steady hand at organizing players, schedules, registration mix up and more.
New Construction for Viewing Gallery:
We are pleased to inform our members that the Board through our partnership with the Town will be constructing a beautiful seating area just in front of our brand new Gazebo. We will be able to bring our comfortable chairs up to this area to watch our matches and socialize.
Rain Out Games for Inter-County Teams
Please check our web site regularly as we make announcements about court bookings on the web site. This week, June 9th, the C team is away but the ACTC B team will be booking 2 courts to complete rain out games.
No Summer Court Monitor/Coordinator:
The Federal Government - Service Canada Grant application was not approved this year. The amount of money plus the number of applications make it hard to give to all groups. Hopefully we will have better luck next year. Let's all our members chip in a bit more to keep our courts and clubhouse litter free. It's ours to enjoy so many hands will make the work easy.

ACTC Draft Communication Document for Presenting to Stakeholders
As the membership is our most important stakeholder, the Board wanted you to be aware of the proposal we are developing. This proposal is a communication document to introduce and explore collaborations with potential partners. We have initiated discussions with a private sector representative and there is interest in participating in our plan. Here is the slide show we are using to begin these discussions. Please feel free to comment on our web site via the blogging feature, that way everyone can see your input. We didn't include financial estimates as it is far too early for discussing those figures.
As requested by our ACTC Board, the Town is constructing our new tennis shelter that will serve our needs as well as the children and families that use McMahon Park.
