Results of the 2007 Green Mountain Open

DAVID HALSEY

Now in its fifth year, the GMO has always had the support and promotion by APTA that we needed, including the first APTA exhibition in Region II history two years ago. Ten members and two guests enjoyed two hours of high quality paddle tennis instruction on Friday evening thanks to our team of instructors: Dan McCormick, Rich Morrell, Larry Whitman and Matt Dana.

In total, 12 Men's teams (20 matches) and 14 Mixed teams (22 matches) competed at our three Upper Valley venues with a combined 18 hours of play.

Forty-five players and family members gathered on Saturday night at the Upper Valley Event Center in Norwich, VT for a wonderful evening of friends, food and music (with the youngest only 8 weeks old and oldest ... well, let's just say over seventy!) The 2007 Green Mountain Open raffle included a top donated by the winner to the Jansen Hospice Program in Westchester, NY.
