2010 Tourney is pau.

Aloha All,

A BIG MAHALO to everyone for a very successful event this past weekend with

170 registered players.  It was a weekend of great tennis, great company, and

great food.  Despite a momentary respite from passing rain on Saturday, superb

tennis was abound and on display from all levels. 

Every year, we try to bring you a new and improved tournament for an even

better experience for all.  This year we had a post tournament potluck party

complete with a live band, "the Holua Tennis Band" (c/o Richard Kahalioumi), to

help celebrate our dear friend Bill Schwartz 50th birthday!  There lots of ono

food, desserts, refreshments, music, and even some dancing!   That makes for a

truly unique tennis tournament this side of the Pacific.

Many thanks to our valuable SPONSORS (in alphabetical order):

- DELISH KONA COFFEE (Stan & Andrina Uemoto)

- DR. DOMINADOR GENIO

- MCDONALD'S (Kathy & Robert Leopoldino)

- MY TENNIS STATS

- SUNPOWER (Debbie & Riley Saito)

- TANTE'S RESTAURANT (Tante Urban)

- TENNISCIZE INC. (Donna Bondallian)

and of course ... the KONA VISAYAN CLUB who provided and administered the ono foods, snacks, desserts,

and refreshments both Saturday and Sunday.  Under KVC President Jane Clement's leadership, KVC provided

invaluable behind the scenes support before, during, and after the tournament.  Many thanks as well for the

players who donated food during the potluck/birthday party.

We would also like to thank our DONORS, SUPPORTERS, HELPERS (in alphabetical order):

A HUGE MAHALO to the FilAm Tourney Tennis committee without whom this tournament would not have gone

smoothly:

- Errol Llantos

- Mike Possman

- Debbie Saito

- Bill Schwartz - our big 5-0 celebrant! and

- Nick Yamasaki

 And last but not least, we thank you the tennis community who fuel our efforts to help graduating seniors

pursue higher education and bring the community together through the sport we love and treasure dearly.  I

apologize if I missed anyone but it was not intentional.  My mind and memory do not serve me well

lately.....I'm close to the big 5-0 myself :-)
