WORDS FROM THE PROS
The CLC (Central Lincoln County) Y tennis staff is delighted to collaborate with the Boothbay
Y to bring a great tennis experience to everyone in mid coast Maine.
After 19 years of tweaking, we think we’ve finally figured it out at the CLC Y and will use
what has been successful as a template for the Boothbay Y. Our ultimate goal is for every
tennis player, young, old, new or experienced, to have fun, get some exercise and make
new friends.
We’re starting with a small splattering of offerings, with the hopes of doing things well! We
will expand with success, and are very anxious to hear your thoughts as to what you want.
The possibilities are unlimited. We firmly believe that both programs will be greatly
enhanced by this collaboration. We will have a bigger pool of players to play with, more
pros to run programs, more opportunities to play. How does this sound? If you miss a
class at one Y, why not make it up at the other?
We look forward to meeting you all and getting the fun started!
Our best,
Lisa, Cinda, Larry, Chantalle and Alex
