Try to put yourself in our new guest’s shoes. You come to play but you don’t know anyone. So let’s try to welcome newcomers when you see them even if you’re not a board member. Offer to play some with them even though they may not be at your level. It will make our club stronger and more user friendly. Thanks, SDTTA Board of directors.

“Ping Pong” is a documentary by Hugh Hartford and Anson Hartford.  Here is the description:                              Eight players with 703 years between them compete in the Over 80 World Table Tennis Championships. Ping Pong is a story of hope, regret, friendship, love—and the tenacity of the human spirit in the face of mortality. (60 mins) This film will air national on PBS’s award-winning documentary series, POV, on September 9.  Our library will offer an advance screening, projecting the film on our big screen and following it with a discussion, on Tuesday, August 27, at 6:00 pm.  Any help that you can provide with publicity would be much appreciated.  Also, please let me know if anyone from your group might be interested in facilitating the post-film discussion.  I usually lead them, but I think that our attendees would prefer the perspective of a ping pong aficionado.  Thank you.
