                                The Mad RacketText Box: Summer is approaching fast! It is time to start planning those “lazy days of summer.“  We are looking forward to our most exciting summer ever. The season starts Saturday May 26th, Memorial Day Weekend.  Over the past year we have made several improvements to the club including staffing, program offerings,  and renovations of the facilities. Our new staff members include Sharon Casey, Aquatic Director, and Rick Fay, who was with us last summer as Director of Tennis Operations.   Their combination of experience makes for the best run tennis and swim programs in the shoreline area. If you have not been into the club lately we have just completed a renovation of our fitness center. We have added more cardio equipment and 3 new high definition TVs as well as a  fresh coat of paint. The tennis courts have been recently resurfaced with the new US Open color blue.  This allows the
