IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENTS
Club Updates: We are pleased to announce some exciting changes at Birchwood. Misha Fomenkov is moving into the role of Tennis Director, and Anastasia Vaganova is taking on the new roles of Pickleball Director and Camp Director. We are confident that both Misha and Anastasia's expertise and dedication will be an asset to their respective positions, and we are excited about the future of Birchwood with these new transitions. We encourage all members to congratulate Misha and Anastasia and look forward to the continued growth and success of our club.
Pickleball Renovations: Due to the growing demand and popularity of pickleball at Birchwood and in our community, we are excited to announce that we will be repainting the middle court (currently pickleball courts 5-8 and tennis court 8) to be just pickleball courts. The respective area will be closed beginning April 10th. We are told the process should take about 7-10 days to complete. There will be minimal interruption to pickleball courts 1-4 and tennis court 8.
Beverages and Gum on Courts: Only water is permitted on the court. All other beverages are to remain in the patio and lobby areas. Beverages, aside from water, stain the courts. In addition, please refrain from chewing gum on the court. Gum ruins the surface of the courts. We appreciate your cooperation and understanding.
Quiet Environment: We ask that all members and guests maintain a quiet environment when they are walking to and from their designated tennis or pickleball courts. This ensures that other players are not disturbed during their game and can focus on their performance. We appreciate your cooperation in maintaining a peaceful and respectful environment for all players to enjoy their games.
We appreciate your support and patronage.

Managing Partner
