Hi,

I would like to personally invite you to participate in a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity on Friday, July 20th and Saturday, July 21st. Former tennis great, Gene Mayer, will be in Milwaukee for the MTEF NJTL Pro-Am & Rally weekend. The three-event weekend will kick-off on Friday evening with a pro-am doubles round robin tournament and reception, continue Saturday with a nine-court clinic at Milwaukee Country Club and conclude with a 250 participant youth NJTL Rally at Merrill Park.

The NJTL Pro-Am & Reception, presented by Prince and sponsored by Milwaukee Country Club members Don & Sallie Davis and Frank & Kathleen Thometz, along with Morgan Stanley, offers a fun-filled evening for both spectators and players. Thirteen local tennis professionals and Gene Mayer will pair up with fourteen amateurs for an exiting evening of doubles, prizes and fun. Coinciding with the pro-am will be a reception that will give everyone the opportunity to watch exciting pro-am doubles, socialize and learn more about MTEF. Attendees will also have the opportunity to meet and have their picture taken with Gene Mayer.

On Saturday Gene Mayer and eight local tennis professionals will conduct a nine-court tennis clinic from 8:30-12:30pm followed by the 5th Annual NJTL Rally at Merrill Park from 1:30-4:30pm. The Rally will include approximately 250 children from MTEF’s Summer TEAM program and will be highlighted by the making of the 2007 TEAM marketing video. Rally participants will receive a free t-shirt, lunch and prizes.

Arthur Ashe demonstrated that tennis can be a powerful and cost-effective tool to change the lives of central-city youth. The goal of MTEF is to continue the work and legacy of Arthur Ashe right here in Milwaukee. Last year we reached 3,000 kids. With your help, even more lives can be touched this year.

Sincerely,

Jay Massart
MTEF Executive Director
