- Coach Foster - Thank you for the endless amount of time you put into making our CHS Tennis team the best it can be (District Champions!!!) not only in tennis, but also as good human beings.
- Rhonda - Thank you for working as Co-Chair of the banquet this year.
- Lorraine - Thank you for taking on the task of decorating, which requires a lot of time in preparation long before the night of the banquet and more time putting it all together on banquet day.
- Supriya - Thank you for volunteering your time as a professional Graphic Artist to create the amazing, professional invitations and programs, getting everything done under deadline pressure, and being so persistent with the printer.
- Kirthi - Thank you for the spectacular action shots of the seniors, making sure everyone had a picture, getting the "extra" pictures we asked of you, and putting it all together inside the frames so they could be beautifully displayed during our banquet.
- Anita - Thank you for deciding to try something new with the Photo Booth and getting that together for us.
- Analyn - Thank you for the beautiful flowers for the Senior moms, putting them in little vases so they can enjoy them longer, the preparation time this takes, and for putting them all together so beautifully!
- Paloma - Thank you for using your artistic talent in making our Tennis banner again this year.
- Kelley - Thank you for getting Concept 7 to the banquet so we could all order our tennis pictures in one place as well as all the other little extras you do to make everything run smoothly.
- Tushna - Thank you for helping Lorraine with getting the check in tables ready.
- Monica - Thank you for getting reminder after reminder after reminder out to the parents through your outstanding newsletter.

- Jan, Rhonda, Lorraine, Supriya, Monica, Kirthi, Kannan, Tammie, Tushna, Kelley, Stacy and Rajeev - Thank you all for coming to put everything together on banquet day so everyone else could walk in that evening and enjoy the amazing surroundings.
The biggest thank you goes to Jan Ciscowski for heading up this event! She did a wonderful job of keeping everything and everyone running on time and in an orderly fashion. She took on so much of the stress so that others did not have to. This list, alone, gives a small glimpse into how much work goes into planning and orchestrating such an event. Her talent in organizing everything and getting the best from everyone is truly remarkable. Her quiet authority, graciousness, and efforts are very much admired and appreciated.
What an amazing group of people you all are, and we are so thankful for each of you! Thank you for providing such a wonderful evening to our kids!

Your Serve
THANK YOU TO ALL OUR PARENTS who have graciously volunteered their time to make sure our players have the best possible experience. This includes the entire Booster Club Board and all the parents who have volunteered to help with the website, social media, communication, pictures, tournaments, flower sales, Senior Night, Homecoming, the tennis banquet and countless other things. It truly takes a lot to run this program properly. Thank you so much to those who show up to the booster club meetings, the banquet meetings, and the matches! We have some parents who continually step up to serve and support, and their contribution is very much appreciated.
Boosters are looking for YOUR HELP. We have 127 players; please help us support them and help make this tennis program the best that it can be. GET INVOLVED!!
