Equipment Report:  Barnes Tennis Center requested to borrow tables this weekend.  We will charge the usual $20 delivery and $100 for each of 5 tables.  The tables need to be tied in and have the brakes on so that they can remain in good shape.  Otherwise, Bill stated that the equipment report is the same as usual. Coaching: Stellan and Angie Bengtsson are back.  However, Stellan needs a hip resurfacing surgery soon, so it is not clear when coaching will resume.  Website: Suggestion to not keep the blog on the front page to be viewed at all times.  Another suggestion was made to place a facilities picture so that it is not too plain. Motion to adjourn made by Mark Adelman, second by Bill Cooper.  Meeting adjourned at 7:45p.m. Next Meeting:  October 20, 2009.
