The Caribbean Musical Tour was a Sold-Out Event
Sponsored by the Tara Woods Tennis Association By Debbie Polenska
On March 31st, the Tara Woods Tennis Association held its very first community sponsored event titled, a “Caribbean Musical Tour”. It was a sold-out, happy hour event with over 160 attendees and was considered a huge success. Dakota Windancer, President of the Association, kicked off the event by welcoming everyone and then went on to speak about the Tennis Association and what its membership has to offer beginner and seasoned tennis players. Whether there was dancing, singing or just sitting back and listening to the melodious island sounds of the steel drums, all enjoyed the music provided by Captain Dave Panman from Sarasota. A wide variety of appetizers and Bahama Mamas, with or without rum, were served. Many of the appetizers and Bahama Mamas were made by the wonderful and creative cooks who are members of the Tennis Association. Kudos to the fabulous and well-organized committee who worked so hard to make this event happen. If you see Arlene Franchini or any member of the events committee (Gwen Engel Windancer, Janell Wissler, and Frank Neveu) make sure to give them a pat on the back for a job well done. A special thanks to Bob Polenska for selling so many 50/50 tickets. The Tennis Association and its hard-working members thank all the people who supported this event. You are all very much appreciated!
