SEMINOLE LAKES TENNIS & PICKLEBALL CLUB

TUESDAY, 15 MAY 2025 – SLCC – 3 pm

PRESENT:  President Linda Baumann, Secretary Sandy Remillard, John Sileno, Sharon McQueen, Larry Durey (via phone), Chris Nelson, and Wayne Provenza.  Absent with Regrets – Joyce Kraut, Steve Higgins, Cheryl Domingo, Kathy Masnyk, and Harriette DiStefano.

1.Welcome: Linda called the meeting to order at 3:30 pm.

2.Meeting Minutes Approval: Motion was made by John Sileno and seconded by Sandy Remillard to approve the Minutes of the Meeting from April 15, 2025, as distributed and posted.  Motion passed.

3.Treasurer’s Report: No official report. Guest Fees - $10.

4. Membership: Sharon McQueen reported that 14 members had extended their memberships from 6 months to a year.  Sharon to send out an updated list.

5. Pickleball: Chris Nelson reported that they currently will only have about 5 players for the summer months.

6. Website: The website currently has 2 passwords for authorized users (contact Wayne if you need assistance).  The Board still must change the website account from Frank Linek’s credit card to Seminole Lakes credit card.  This will be done in October. Linda and Wayne will work with Tanya on this.

7. Maintenance: John Sileno noted that the irrigation systems has been doing well.  Redoing the lines on the courts was brought up for discussion.  Last time this was investigated, it was noted that it would cost about $15,000 to put down new lines.  Plus, the courts would need to be shut down for a length of time while the work is completed.

8. Rules: Kathy Masnyk sent an official reply to Wayne Garber regarding the question of non-members playing at Seminole Lakes. Regarding League playing team members and after discussion and verification with the court owner, the owner is still adamant that non-members are not allowed to play on Seminole Lakes courts.  FYI: The Ladies 50+ league requires that all team members belong to their participating club.

9. Social: No report.

10. SLCC vs TICC Invitational: The only comment regarding this inter club competition was the lack of spectators.  We need to try and promote this more next season if we participate again.

11. Summer Court Times: Summer hours on the courts have started, SLCC began playing at 8:00 at the beginning of May because of the heat.

12. Signs: Board decided to replace the “MEMBERS ONLY” signs on all the gates at the clay courts (the hard courts already have this sign). Larry Durey to investigate cost.

Sign Policy: Because of an issue that came up regarding THE TAKING DOWN OF TEAM SIGNS on the clay courts, the Board decided to create a sign policy with the full support of the Country Club owner as he wanted to be sure the Board of Directors was the approving authority over what was to be hung on the fences. Further discussion covered the type of signage, the material, location, etc. It was decided to “keep it simple” and concise. The Sign Policy was drafted, emailed to the Board for input and final decision made. The motion below establishing the Sign Policy was moved by Larry Durey, seconded by Sandy Remillard. Motion carried by majority vote. Cheryl Domingo is out of the country and was unable to respond.

Signage on Tennis and Pickleball Courts can enhance the looks of those facilities and add valuable incentives to attract additional players looking for a viable club to become part of. As teams signs are important in that they indicate how active a club is, the Board of Directors has initiated the following policy:

SIGN POLICY – SLTPC 

The policy for Signage on the Tennis and Pickleball Courts will be in effect 1 June 2025.

   1. No signs shall be installed without prior approval of the Board of Directors of Seminole Lakes Tennis & Pickleball Club.

   2. Once a sign(s) has been installed, the SLTPC Board of Directors reserve the right to remove any sign(s) when it has become tattered or worn and should be disposed of.

  3. Once signs have been installed, the Board of Directors requests that Teams give prior notice to the Maintenance Chairperson/Board before removing their sign(s).

​

13. Meeting adjourned at 4:30. Next Meeting to be scheduled for October 2025.

Respectfully submitted May 19, 2025                                         Sandy Remillard, Secretary

SLPTC BOARD MINUTES

TUESDAY, APRIL 15, 2025

 

PRESENT:  President Linda Bauman, Vice-President Joyce Kraut, Treasurer Steve Higgins, Secretary Sandy Remillard, John Sileno, Sharon McQueen, Cheryl Domingo, Larry Durey (via phone), Kathy Masnyk, Harriette DeStefano, Chris Nelson.  Absent with Regrets – Wayne Provenza.

 

1.  Welcome:  Linda called the meeting to order at 3:00 pm at Seminole Lakes Country Club.  Linda complimented everyone on the great turnout at Sunday’s Play and Party event at the tennis courts.

 

2Meeting Minutes Approval: Motion was made by John Sileno and seconded by Joyce Kraut to approve the minutes of the AGM meeting from March 18, 2025.  Motion passed and Kathy Masnyk made a motion to accept the election of officers after the AGM meeting.  Motion was seconded by Sharon McQueen and motion passed. Motion was made by Cheryl Domingo and seconded by Steve Higgins to meeting minutes of March 4, 2025, motion passed.

 

3.  Selection of Committee Chairs: ​

       Maintenance:        John Sileno

       Membership:         Sharon McQueen

       Social:                   Joyce Kraut (Chairperson), Harriette DiStefano (Co-Chairperson)

       Rules:                    Kathy Masnyk

       Website:                 Wayne Provenza

​

4.  Rules Committee: This committee will handle all grievances, requests, non-member issues, etc.  Topic immediately came up regarding a request by Wayne Garber to allow non Seminole Lake tennis members to play home games and attend team practices.  Per Sharon McQueen, Jack says absolutely not, all players must be paid members.  Wayne Garber has brought this up in the past. 

 

In the past, the rule has always been non-members cannot play home matches and as for practice, non-members can only play if they are short a person – need to establish how many times this should be allowed and do they have to pay a guest fee for practices.Wayne Garber says he is short players.Sharon commented that this sometimes forces paid members to sit out while outside players are allowed to play.John Sileno asked if a non-member plays, who is responsible for collecting the $10 quest fee.It was stated that it is the team’s Captain who is responsible for collecting the fee and submitting it to the appropriate person on the Board.We currently don’t have a written policy regarding this process.Guest fees have always been an issue, its all about everyone being honest, we don’t police it. Another issue is how many times can a non-member play?4 times a month?When we are recruiting a new player we have allowed them to play for free up to 3 times while making their decision.Also, if an individual is invited by an Event Coordinator (i.e., Jerry Fisher Open, SLCC, etc.) versus league play, that person will not have to pay but only if they are needed due to lack of players.This happened several summers ago when a person had a partial year membership but filled in during the summer months.The issue of how this would affect Chris Fantini was then brought up.Chris was a member about 5 years ago and is considering re-joining the organization.Chris is being sponsored by Wayne Wahl.It was decided that this rule wouldn’t apply to Chris and he would be allowed to take a summer membership.

 

The Rules Committee will meet and draft an official response of their decision for Board review prior to responding to Wayne.Copies of previous notes and emails regarding this topic were given to Kathy Masnyk for the committee to review prior to making their decision.  It was noted that the Men’s Peace River league does not require their players to be members of their respective organizations, however the Ladies’ league does.Other members of this committee are Sharon McQueen and Larry Durey.

 

5.  Treasurer’s Report: Steve Higgins reported the following:

               Previous Balance:                     $402.67

               Expenses:

                           Pizza for AGM               - $91.25

               Income:

                           Guest Fees                   +$20.00

               Current Balance:                       $331.42

 

Monies from Sunday’s event still need to be deposited.  Sharon McQueen reported that she has looked into Fifth Third Bank regarding changing the bank account over.  They will allow a free checking account with only the Club President and Treasurer able to sign.  This bank is currently being built.  There is still the option of switching to CREWs bank, but they will require a completed tax form to open the account.  Sharon will check to see what documents will need to be provided and if a tax form is required to be completed at year end with this type of account.  It is believed that as long as we keep only $500-$1,000 balance that there shouldn’t be too much paperwork involved.  Sharon stated that she will have all this worked out by our first meeting in the fall.

 

6.  Fundraising:  Harriette DeStefano reported that we did have an initial committee meeting last month.  Several ideas resulted.  The committee has already received several wine/liquor donations to raffle off.  Harriette will also donate some of her Hummel collection to add to the raffle baskets.  She has a commitment from her personal trainer to donate a half-hour training session and Joyce Kraut said Bob (tennis pro from Twin Isles) will donate a half-hour tennis lesson and Kathy Masnyk stated that Jay Penny (tennis pro from Burnt Store Marina) will do the same.  Linda Bauman’s travel agent agreed to donate a travel basket and a $100 gift certificate for a future trip.  Other ideas that were discussed with a Halloween costume party or tennis costume party or a Bunko event in the clubhouse.  If the event is in the afternoon, we may not have to pay the hall rental fee but we would need to make arrangements for food and there would be a cash bar.  Suggested we charge $10/pp to play with the treasury keeping half the money and the other half be given out in prizes.  We could also have the raffle at whatever event is decided upon.  It was noted that Jack charges the Book Club $3/pp when they meet.  Sharon McQueen will look into this with Jack.

 

7.  Membership:  Sharon McQueen has started collecting money for memberships and needs to send out another update on membership expiration dates.

 

8.  Pickleball:  Chris Nelson reported that they currently have 42 members, but that is dwindling as people are leaving for the summer.  The condition of the courts was discussed and they are in the same shape as last review.  Courts are playable except for one.  Sharon doesn’t think Jack will do anything to improve the condition of the courts.  It was noted that windscreens will be put up after hurricane season.

 

9.  Website:  No report.

 

10. Maintenance:  John Sileno noted that an individual removed banners from the tennis court fences.  Wayne Garber told Gary Dawes to take them down and they are being stored in Gary’s garage.  Players from the individual winning teams pay for the banners and no one individual should decide to take them down.  Newer signs are sturdier than those put up in the past, but banners should be displayed and it should be a Board decision as to when they should be taken down.  During hurricane they should be taken down when the windscreens are. Motion was made by Harriette DeStefano to have the signed returned and put back in place.  This motion was seconded by Kathy Masnyk and Chris Nelson.  Motion passed.  The Board will ask for the banners back, Linda Bauman to draft an email to send to Wayne Garber and Gary Dawes.  Jude Dawes to be contacted to retrieve the banners as Gary Dawes has left for the season. 

 

Larry Durey (via phone) said the banners belong to the tennis teams and should remain up unless the team doesn’t want them up.Only Wayne Garber’s team banners were removed.John Sileno suggested we table this matter until the fall to determine who is responsible.Chris Nelson commented that we should get them back up for the summer as this is a good marketing tool for the tennis club.Having them down for the summer and we lose six months of advertising.Lots of residents didn’t even know the courts were there (several comments regarding this were made at Sunday’s event).Banners should be put back up and taken down for hurricane season (if necessary).

 

It was also suggested that the Board look into putting up a sign on the tennis courts and pickleball courts with the organization’s information (i.e, website, email address/contact information).John stated that the 30 x 48 banner that they just put up for the Peace River men’s team cost about $200 through Buffalo Graphics.John will get cost from Buffalo Graphics for 2 signs approximately 36 x 24.Gulf Coast Engraving, Vista Print and another company that Cheryl Domingo knows about will also sent pricing requests.Joyce Kraut will take Vistaprint.Due to the personal information that could be accessed through the website, it was discussed if Wayne could possible limit access with a member password to that portion of the website.

 

John also mentioned a new form of tennis that he’s heard about called “Triples”.This is played with used balls (don’t bounce as far) and played with 3 people per side – one at net and 2 at baseline but play with regular tennis rules.After every point, individuals rotate positions.This may be a fun idea for a fundraiser event.

 

11.  Social:  The last Wednesday night dinner for the year was held and Sunday’s event was extremely successful and raised awareness in the community of the tennis club.  Pop Rocks volunteered to play music for the event for tips only and were very pleased with what they received.  They would be happy to play at any future event we may have.  Having the golf cart parking across the street worked out well too.  Tennis members signed in and paid a fee of $5.  The following is a breakdown of monies raised:

 

Membership Fees:                     $155.00            Kathy Masnyk / Sandy Remillard

50/50 Raffle:                              $140.00            Harriette DeStefano

Guessing Games:                      $  51.00            Jude Dawes (also donated wine

                                                                             for prizes)

Expenses:                                - $100.00            Paper supplies/Flyers

Monies Raised:                          $246.00

 

Winner of the 50/50 raffle was Chris Nelson who donated his winnings back to the club.

 

What we learned from this event:

 

  • It should be a “Seminole Lakes Resident” who sponsors any future event as the tennis is not allowed to post on the HOA page or in the Grapevine.

  • We should designate someone as an “event photographer” so we can capture the event for future advertising.

  • We should announce the winners

 

Overall we had 80 attendees at the event and we could possibly get 3-4 new members from it.

 

12. SLCC vs TICC Invitational:  The final match of this year’s invitation will be held at Twin Isle on April 27th at 1:30 pm.  Players are still needed.  Seminole Lakes is in the lead.

 

13. Summer Court Times:  USTA ends the first week in June.  It was discussed if summer social events could change start times to 8 am instead of 9 and move all later events up by one hour.  Cheryl Domingo will email teams/event coordinators for confirmation of schedules.  As Cheryl will be gone for 5-6 weeks, Joyce Kraut will take over her calendar to schedule court times during Cheryl’s absence.

 

14. Miscellaneous: 

 

Linda has asked that everyone on the Board email her with their fall return dates.

Cheryl will update “Court Reservations” notes.

Roger Chauvin would like to come back on the Board on a limited basis.As Roger can no longer play, Kathy Masnyk suggested he come back as a “consultant” due to his length of time on the board and his knowledge of the history.Board agreed and will submit this request to Jack for his approval.

 

Next Meeting to be scheduled for October, 2025.

 

Meeting adjourned at 4:30 pm.

 

Respectfully submitted April 16, 2025                                          Sandy Remillard, Secretary

Consternation expressed over the exclusion of members by the Intramural Group and the taking of two prime-time slots. Motion by Frank Linek to determine status of any SL sanctioned event. Brunch Bunch to be re-instated as it was only for this season that it was not scheduled due to lack of players and coordinator. Men’s Open to be renamed Jerry Fisher Drop In (in the Rules priority listing).  Intramural Group to be considered and renamed as the “Women’s Open” and subject to one prime-time slot and one not prime-time slot, and the women will be asked to sign up for play (like SLIC). Cheryl Domingo seconded. No Opposition. Motion carried.  Cheryl will be asking teams to share time slots and has asked for Tuesday at 11 for USTA practice, for possibly two teams as a top priority for team practice. Suggested handling competing team practices on a rotating basis. Cheryl will also work with the SLIC scheduling for play times to include USTA matches. She and Joyce have been working on a 75+ team that will also rotate in. It will be up to the team Captains to choose time slots. SLIC and Brunch Bunch have priority as to the time, The board agrees.

 

Rules and Regulations finished its review and will be re-sent once all the changes have been made (re-sent 3/5-Wednesday AM). Directors were asked to review the final draft. They will then be submitted to the general membership as per current Bylaw to be voted on at the AGM.

Rules and Regulations to take effect October 1, 2025, just prior to the 2026 League season.

 

4. Preparation for Annual General Meeting - To be held at the Seminole Lakes Country Club on Tuesday, March 18, 2025, from 3 to 5 p.m. Suggested that Joyce sends out her usual “invitation” for members to RSVP. We will need a count for the pizza and goodies. The board approved an expenditure of $100.00. Bylaws will be voted on separately from the Rules and Regulations.

 

5. Treasurer's Report – Steve reported a balance of $402.67after expenses for miscellaneous hardware, restroom sign, and painting supplies.

Membership – potential members had approached board members regarding pro-rating of membership for this year and a new member for next year, and we have one person doing team practices on a tryout basis. Sharon does not feel a Lost & Found Policy is necessary as it is up to captains to make sure nothing is left on the courts or spectator area as per the Rules.

 

9. Maintenance Report – John reported no problems with irrigation for now, looking for pavers to put along the fence where balls are rolling through, also one sweeper will be replaced. Discussion over the pro-hut eaves rot. Sharon stated she would approach Mark again.

Flyers will be posted on Country Club door, put in the “Flash”?, and recommended talking it up at the AGM. Good opportunity to let residents know who we are and where we are. We cannot put in the Grapevine as we are considered an outside group

The Board approved the flyer that Larry and Wayne will put on our website and post where it is possible to bolster our membership and attract new members. Sandy had also stated that Pro Jay Penney had many ideas also and gave Larry his cell. The charity Archway Institute Tennis Mixer may be a good venue to put out the flyer if we can.

13. Next Meeting - Tuesday - MARCH 4, 2025, from 3 to 5 p.m., at SLCC

​​BOARD MINUTES - JANUARY 7, 2025 - 3 P.M. @ SLCC​

​

Present: Pres Frank Linek, V-Pres John Sileno, Secretary Linda Baumann, Social Chair Joyce Kraut, Scheduling Coordinators: Larry Durey and Cheryl Domingo, Kathy Masnyk, Website Master Wayne Provenza, Pickleball Rep Chris Nelson. Absent with regrets: Treasurer Steve Higgins, SLIC Scheduler Sandy Remillard, and Membership Chair Sharon McQueen. 

1. Welcome & Announcements – Frank called the meeting to order at 3:10 p.m. Linda will be speaking on the Bylaws.

2. Meeting Minutes Approval – Linda - Motion by Cheryl Domingo to approve the Minutes of December 3, 2024, as reviewed, corrected, and then posted to the website. Seconded by John Sileno. Motion carried.          

3. Treasurer's Report - Deferred to February. There were expenses to be turned in.

4. Pickleball Report – Chris Nelson - Membership numbers at 30 with 6 new members, waiting for others to return. Chris requested one new net (cost of $300 to $400). Steve would normally go to Mark to request approval of purchase. The members appreciated the windscreens especially with these last chilly/windy mornings. The membership chair Denise would be submitting the 2025 applications, monies are turned into Tanya (SLCC) once collected. No updates needed on web page that Chris knew of, though Frank Linek did some updates to clarify rules/information.

5. Website Report – Wayne – Stated he was still in-training. Currently working on a table for input on the Intramural Play web page for Joyce.

6. Membership Report – No Report from Sharon, but we did add Kathy Masnyk to the board last month.

BYLAWS/RULES: Linda outlined her concerns that our operating Rules were not referenced in the Bylaws, nor had the membership been invited to approve changes to the same. Articles referenced our organization and had been updated in 2021, but not how the club operates its day-to-day business. Cheryl Domingo made the motion based upon Frank Linek’s proposal that the Club organize a Bylaw Committee consisting of Chris Nelson, Kathy Masnyk, John Sileno, Linda Baumann and to further enlist the help of former member of the Bylaw Committees Roger Chauvin. The Club will use the updated Rules posted on the Website as a starting point. Seconded by Kathy Masnyk. Motion Carried. The Club has noticed the LACK OF spirit of cooperation and more conflicts amongst the members and the Club. Once there is something concrete put together, the document will go through our membership and SLCC (as owners of the Courts) asking for input and feedback - then the final document must go through the approval process. The bylaw committee will be asked to consider items such as club liability (who has) due to court and grounds’ conditions, approval of Rules by the Membership (last approval was in 2016), consider how to manage catastrophic events as pertains to league play/membership/use of courts/liaison between club and SLCC, and any others that it deems appropriate

7. Maintenance Report – John/Wayne – Sprinklers: Discussed the plugging of the sprinkler filters (squid shells?), using city water vs pond water as a solution, separate piping, timer controls. Suggested bringing this up to Mark. Bulletin Board: is down, wall to be painted, broken and missing receptacle plates replaced. Door: repairs yet to be organized. Suggested getting a price on a new door/framing. Windscreens: John will send fencing pictures and measurements to vendor, along with requesting 6 ft in height. Decided not to replace screens along the wood line.  Fencing: many rusted poles and liability discussed (add to Bylaw review).  Cheryl will set up a meeting with the vendor she used for their hurricane damaged fencing and find out the extent of the court fencing damaged.

8. SLCC vs TICC Invitational - Frank/Joyce – January 26th and March 23rd to be hosted by Seminole Lakes at SLTC with Twin Isles hosting February 23rd and April 27th at Twin Isles. These are Sundays from 1:300 to 3:30 with the hosting club providing snacks. All level players are welcome, groups of 6 participants for each of those days – to date 8 members have responded. The board agreed that to get enough participants, we invite the various team captains to volunteer a player for each event date.  It’s felt that this could boost the number of spectators and interested players to become involved.

9. Social Chair Report – Joyce has worked on a Newsletter highlighting the Club’s Activities and was hoping to be able to put in a link but Frank suggested using the Tennis Web Page under Events. She has put together two Wednesday Dinners for January 15th at Twin Isles and January 29th at Heron’s Glen, invitations to go out using Punchbowl. Working with Larry on plans for January 18th social Drop In and Potluck using the Australian Open as a theme. 

10. Growing our Membership – Larry and Wayne have come up with suggestions to increase our membership, bringing younger and newer to tennis members. Have discussed using mentors, offering short term special rates, visibility, lessons, submitting articles to Grapevine, using POA Welcoming Committee/information packets, asking more competitive pickleball players to consider tennis option, driveway parties, etc. Chris added that driveway parties are trending as opposed to POA events at the pool with bands being “tip” paid. Chris will check with the POA on the Tennis Club advertising and hosting a driveway party with the intent to bring in new members. Linda has offered to lend her driveway (being in the Windsong cul-de-sac). Frank proposed we offer the special rates to new members, advertise free clinics, mentors, and to use POA welcoming protocol pending Jack’s (SLCC) approval. Cheryl Domingo so moved, seconded by Wayne Provenza, Motion carried.

11. Next Meeting - Tuesday - FEBRUARY 4, 2025 – 3 pm @ SLCC. Meeting adjourned at 4:55 p.m.

 

Respectfully submitted,

Linda Baumann, Secretary

2. New Intramural Women’s Tennis Program: Frank stated the group had been formed over the summer which was for a trial period only. He stated priority policy for reserving the courts especially as we get into League Season. Joyce continued with why the program had been started and stated that this Club usually tried to accommodate all players. Ann Marshall presented her program and request to retain the Monday and Friday 11 a.m. times. They have 14 ladies who are in their 80’s and want to play competitively amongst themselves. For now, they utilize 2 courts but in January expect to need all 3 clay courts. The new intramural program requested becoming an “officially sanctioned SLCC event, not open to allowing beginner level players in this event”.

3. Court Reservation Policy:  An email will be sent out by the court scheduler to clarify the SLCC tennis process of reserving courts. Any changes/corrections to the schedule posted on the website MUST be made by email to tennis.slcc@gmail.com. Placeholders for practices are only final for the upcoming 10-days. Team captains should release courts within this 10-day window if not using. It was emphasized that phone calls or texts are inadequate notifications.​

4. Minutes Approval: Motion by Cheryl to accept the Minutes of November 5, 2024, as reviewed. Seconded by Wayne Provenza. Carried.

5. Treasurer’s Report: Board received the report. The current balance is $602.65 after expenses for the spectator tarp and bungee cords and an income of $71.95 (reimbursement for the tarp). The Bulletin Board was purchased and will be installed.

7. Website Report: Site is working on most phones, those that are not working is a phone setting. Tablets are problematic.

8. Membership Volunteers: Frank invited Kathy Masnyk to the table. She spoke on why she was interested in being on the Board. Frank proposed that the board accept her and her role is to observe for this year as per Bylaw, Article 3. Motion by Sharon McQueen to accept her becoming a tennis committee member. Seconded by Cheryl Domingo. Motion carried. The previous agreement to keep the position open is now nullified. The board is back up to 12 (max) members. The secretary to re-send the list of volunteers to the board (previously sent 11/7). Volunteers will be contacted by the involved chair committees and invited to the next meeting. Rima Selius had been invited to attend as she had expressed interest in helping with secretarial duties.

9.  Maintenance Report: Pro Hut roof tiles need to be power washed and parts of the restroom door to be repaired (although a new door and framing would be better). Something that has been on Mark’s “to do” list for a couple of years. Romy will help John. Jack will pay for windscreen replacements. John to give him the measurements and number of screens needing to be replaced due to Hurricane Helena and Milton. John is manually turning on the water as a new control box is needed. 3 valves had blown up.

​

10. Court Scheduling: After further board discussion regarding makeup matches and practice and member accommodation, the Board decided “to start the process of the new intramural group becoming a SL sanctioned event with justification to make it permanent, with a web page (take over the Women’s Open page as that will go away), play is on Monday and Friday at 11 am with a 2-court guarantee.”  Joyce will manage a webpage for this group. Women’s Open will disband for this season and is subject to review for next.  As for new players, Sandy Remillard will invite them to come to the 2.5 team practice. Cheryl and Joyce to work the scheduling out to be all inclusive. Further, Sandra Remillard will take over the SLIC Wednesday Scheduling from Joyce. All in favor including Joyce Kraut.

The Board has agreed not to appoint a replacement at this time. BOARD REVIEW:  President Frank Linek and Webmaster, Vice-Pres and Maintenance Supervisor John Sileno, Treasurer Steve Higgins position is Honorary, Sharon McQueen is currently the Membership Chair in her position as a Founding Member.

Social Chair is Joyce and she will also remain as SLIC scheduler, Cheryl Domingo will continue as USTA rep and the POC for all Court Scheduling and Google Calendar. Pickleball (s) Chris Nelson/Lori Kelke. Frank recommended that we should be proactive in filling the 3 positions as their term is ending (John and Frank’s with Stephan’s already open).  A summary of these minutes to be sent out to the membership.

 

2. Minutes Approval: Motion by Frank Linek to approve the Minutes of April 30, 2024. Seconder John Sileno. Motion carried.

 

3. Treasurer’s Report: Balance on hand $638.83. There were no expenses and guest fee income of $25.00. The board received the Treasurer’s Report. Bulletin Board: Board in agreement to allow Wayne to purchase a bulletin board NTE $150.00. The bill will be submitted to Jack for reimbursement.

4. Pickleball Report: None

​

5. Web Site Report: Updated site showing the new rates, guest fee guidelines, and formatting issues on two web pages. Mobile devices are showing well. Desktop versions vary.

​

6. Membership Report: Rates have been increased with the USTA remaining at $30.00. List of paid memberships were given to the court schedulers. Applications were received for database updating with 7 applicants volunteering their services in maintenance and aesthetics, technical, membership recruiting, social and secretarial. Sharon recommended we invite these volunteers to the next meeting.  10 members are annual. She will check with Jack as to how many members we need to be a viable club. To date there are 48 paid individuals (including those that joined as couples). Club membership numbers were 50 to 66 in previous years. Joyce is working on a Grapevine article for January similar to the one she input for Oct/Nov’s issue.  Larry and Wayne to form a committee to recruit members not only from Seminole Lakes but in other parks. The board approved John Sileno’s request that his membership be extended from last season when he was injured and not able to play for 7 months.  Maintenance expenses were to be submitted to the Treasurer for reimbursement.

​

7. Maintenance Report:  Mark has been supportive and Matt and John work well together. Court #2 valve was repaired and courts are now playable with the back valve being replaced Wednesday which will not interfere with play. Control valve to remain the same. Leaves have been blown out also. 10 to 12 people came out to cleanup after Helene/Milton. A Cleanup Day for November 23rd at 11:30 to be scheduled after USTA’s matches end on that day. Notice has since gone out. Clay can now be stored in the recently cleaned out storage closet for easy access. He also cleaned out the Pro Hut.

​

8. Court Scheduling: Frank cited Bylaw and Court Rules giving each league team one day per week for practice and inter club play (Brunch Bunch, SLIC, JF Men’s Open, and Women’s Open).  Joyce and Sandy to come up with a workable day and time to accommodate the Women’s Open format with the most players available; Joyce and Cheryl to work out a doable schedule for the new “80’s Ladies” group. After discussion and due to lack of players, Frank Linek moved that Brunch Bunch be taken off the schedule for this season. Sharon McQueen supported. Motion carried. It was agreed that Sunday be used as an open non-scheduled play time for members. Men’s Open (Monday) and JF Open will combine for play on Saturday for now so as not to dilute the available members alternating with the USTA matches scheduled. The intramural play with Twin Isles which offers an opportunity for non-league mixed play should start in January. Joyce was asked to consider volunteering for ladies’ captain.  Members will be encouraged to use the Google Calendar on the website for days and times of these events.

 

Note: Times were not set “in stone” other than to bring up which groups wanted day/time consideration. Expectation was that members of those groups would work out any conflicts through mutual cooperation and then inform the scheduler.

CLUB POLICY:  In order of priority: 1) Sanctioned Play (2) All League play (3) Team Practice (4) Drop In (5) Members must use the 10-day request requirement. Policy does not change once Season has begun.

​

9. Social: Looking at December 7 for a Thank You to the Volunteers and Welcome Back Potluck event at the courts from 11 to ? Members may play or socialize. Opportunity to raise some funds. Joyce and her committee are working on this and looking at a venue for a Christmas Party. Suggestions were made. She will finalize events at the next meeting.

​

10. Motion to adjourn at 4:30 p.m.

NEXT MEETING: DECEMBER 3, 2024, AT 3 PM AT THE SLCC. Board meeting times will now be added to the Google Calendar.

SLTC MINUTES - TUESDAY - APRIL 30, 2024

3:00 P.M. – SLCC

 

PRESENT: President Frank Linek, V-President John Sileno, Treasurer Steve Higgins, Secretary Linda Baumann, Chairs/Reps: Membership Sharon McQueen, Social Joyce Kraut, Web Wayne Provenza, USTA Cheryl Domingo, & Pickleball Chris Nelson, Men’s Tennis Larry Durey (via phone). Medical abstentions: Stephan Pare and Sandy Remillard.

 

  1. Welcome & Announcements – Frank asked John Sileno to chair the October Meeting as he would not be available until November. Linda was not sure of her return date either. Cheryl was asked to query Stephan on his SL membership renewal for the fall. His written resignation would be required by the 6-month membership bylaw.

  2. Meeting Minutes Approval – Motion by Joyce Kraut to approve the corrected Minutes of April 2, 2024.Seconded by Steve Higgins. Motion carried unanimously. 

  3. Treasurer's Report – The board received the Treasurer’s Report. Cash on hand is $613.83, no expenses, included guest fees of $30 (not counting what he received from Frank prior to this meeting), and $107 from the April 20th Social of which Chuck Gertner graciously donated his win back to the Club. 

  4. Membership Report – Tennis: Sharon will be sending out the list of memberships that are expiring. Nothing to report for summer memberships, only have the ones from the USTA. Pickleball: Chris reported they had 2 renewed memberships. Expects play to continue through May 1st. Current nets are still good; court conditions have not changed. Screens have been a significant help with the winds. Frank reiterated that we have to continue to work with Jack/Mark on getting some court repairs done.  Decisions on this could be impacted as the course has been up for sale. (Since, a POA notice went out saying that Jack is not selling the course). 

  5. Maintenance Report – John has spoken with Mark regarding Armor’s Contract and restroom door replacement. Mark is looking for the contract and it does not look like we will see a replacement door soon. Lines: companies will not replace court lines unless they can do entire court (costs at $12,000), Armor has been fixing the lines when he puts down clay. Irrigation: leak has been fixed. Rolling: Armor does once before season starts, then just tamps areas down. Bulletin board: Wayne was asked to look into having it fixed or replaced. Wood around is rotted. The board will decide via email based on his findings. 

  6. Social Committee Report – Joyce reported April 20th to be a success with good food, the 50/50 and guessing “how many” participation. Plans for next Oct/Nov Social in the works. Sharon suggested socials at least once a month. There is information on website but members may not know how or where to access it. 

  7. Website Report – Frank stated that the Court Reservation and Tennis Calendar pages are now combined. Prior to season he will put together an update and “how-to access” to the membership. Think about adding it to the attachments being sent out with the membership renewals (application, committees, and website). 

  8. Tennis Scheduling – the new Friday Intramural formatting is being tied in with The Women’s Open which seems to be working well. Hopefully expand it to a mixer. Joyce would like to add a scheduling table format on the Women’s Open web page. Frank to assist.  Brunch Bunch still to be discussed as we have not canceled it. Not as much league play taking up play time as before. We have 2 Men’s teams, 2 – 50+ teams and 1 Charlotte County team only. Saturday’s R/R: John asked for Saturday dates that the round robin could move from 11 to 9 am. Larry stated he would handle the website scheduling once he had those dates. USTA is going to Orlando in June for the Sectionals (playing against other Florida teams). Summer League: Frank has talked with Bob the pro at Twin Isles and Mike Dorsey. 8 clubs are involved on Thursday’s. Cheryl stated she will add those to the calendar page once she has the dates. Interclub Matches: Frank proposed having interclub matches with Twin Isles and he and Bob have agreed to have one match per month starting in the fall. Would need an hour using 3 courts. Time slots and whether to make them men or women only, or mixed is still to be determined. If successful we can expand to other clubs. Frank feels this may be a step to keeping tennis “alive”. Any fees to be charged will cover the costs of running this and social expenses. He and Bob still have to decide on the guidelines and will be working on this over the summer. 

  9. Addition to Agenda – Committees List:  Linda passed around a Committees Listing with designating chairs, and their purpose. She asked the Board to give it some thought and their input as she would like to include it in an email to the membership asking for their help on each of the committees. The reason is that we will need member skills to help run their Club and take over some major duties that are basic to keeping the club running. 

  10. Next Meeting – Sharon suggested having it on the Country Club patio in October if the Club is still closed. The first Tuesday in October is October 1. Meeting adjourned at 4 pm.

Motion by Cheryl Domingo to accept Frank’s nomination as President. Seconded by John Sileno. Frank accepted the nomination. All in agreement. Frank began by appointing Wayne Provenza who is familiar with building websites to the 12th position as director. Members in agreement to welcome Wayne on the Board.

2. NOMINATIONS FOR OFFICERS –Vice-President: Motion by Cheryl for John Sileno to remain as V-P. John accepted. Seconded by Steve Higgins. All in agreement.

She also announced that their Mixed Team made it to the Sectionals held at the end of June, in Orlando. Pickleball: Chris Nelson to remain as the representative offering his insight.

3. Meeting Minutes Approval/AGM Minutes - March 5, 2024 – Motion to approve the March 5th (1:30 Meeting) Meeting Minutes by Cheryl Domingo. Seconded by Joyce Kraut. All in favor. Motion by Sharon McQueen to bring the Minutes of the AGM of March 5, 2024, before the membership for approval at the 2025 AGM. Seconded by John Sileno. All in favor.

5. Membership Report – Sharon: there were several changes to full membership, and one re-newing her membership. A Seminole Lakes resident has also enquired about membership. Joyce had spoken to a gal that was looking for a team. She has since sent out an email listing those members that will be expiring at the end of April.

LEAGUES/TEAMS: 50+ Standing committee meets April 4th at 2 p.m.; Peace River B-4 is still active; but dropping 75+ due to not enough players. Peace River Men’s dinner/meeting is tomorrow. Emails should be coming from the leagues next week regarding next season. (Since then, an email came out regarding 50+ Division Placement - SL Lady Lakers dropping to 2.5 was approved). Due to the disbanding of our 3.5 team, a 75+/70+ Lady’s team was suggested. After an email went out to all teams, only Seminole Lakes and Riverwood came back with enough interested players. Cheryl will reach out to Twin Isles Pro for his input.

6. Maintenance Report- John and Sharon have talked with Jack/Mark about listing what their responsibilities are to the tennis club as Matt (Armor’s son) does not have a list of what he is supposed to be doing. They agreed that a plan has to be made to ensure our courts are well maintained. John to get pricing for clay/new lines and give the costs to Jack/Mark. Joyce suggested doing fundraisers to help with the costs if necessary. Frank added that the pickleball/tennis hard courts have not been dealt with. The company that was asked to give a quote to fix the courts several years ago could not do the necessary fix for what Jack wanted to pay. We need to re-visit the condition of the courts - Unplayable by tennis players and pickleball players. We have to get the 2 courts back up to standard. Not helping is that the course is actively being marketed.     

7. Social Committee Report by Joyce: Dinner planned for Heron’s Glen this Wednesday is the last one for the season. A social is being planned for April 20th. Jude Dawes, Sandra Linek, and Mollie Chance are working on a flyer to be sent to the membership. (Since then, flyers and notices from them have been gone out).

8. Website Report – Frank will try to send out an email to let the members know how to see the information and to access the Calendar page. Cheryl and Frank discussed using the Reservation Page as an informational page with a link to the calendar effectively moving the Calendar page up to the Reservation page.

9. Summer Court Times/Coordinators – It was decided that we would keep the hours for play at 9 and 11. If someone wanted to play earlier, there would be no problem for summer play. Discussion by Joyce to establish an intramural summer group for Seminole Lake members. Frank proposed that Joyce and Sandy coordinate and put this under the umbrella of the Women’s Open. Joyce will send out an email to all members for it to start in May. She would like the USTA to mix in. The board approved the proposal. USTA has already reserved courts for two sessions. One on Monday (6 matches) and on Saturday (7 matches). The intramural will go with Fridays. Men’s tennis tabled to April 30th.

10. Additions to Agenda: Club needs/requirements – Linda discussed the fact that the club will need Board members with certain skills as positions will be coming open due to the rotation put into effect in 2019 with the change in the Bylaws. Specifically, members with certain qualifications to act as webmaster, administrative assistant, court maintenance, social planning skills… Linda would like to send out a plea to the membership asking that they think about how they can help out/participate in every day needs of the club - asking if they would like to assist before having to commit. The board felt that the club will always need “new blood”.

11. ADJOURNED AT 4:30 P.M. - Next Meeting - Tuesday, April 30, 2024, SLCC – 3 p.m. (Last Day CC is open)

3. Treasurer's Report- Steve Higgins: Report received (including in the Annual Report) of balance on hand of $635.36. Check going out today of $95.36 for pizza and cookies for the AGM. Steve not in favor of providing food as he does not think it brings in any more members. The argument for providing was that the Board was hosting the meeting and felt that it would make the meeting more “social”.

4. Membership Report - Sharon McQueen: Added a family membership for William Wrigley as he is here for 3 months at his mother’s home. Additionally, we may have Twin Isles members joining next season.

5. Maintenance Report - John Sileno: Leak was fixed. Old signs were found behind the Pro Facility, one was too badly peeled to save, the other we (Don and Cookie) are in the process of finding out if it can be saved. Restroom lock is in working order, just have to be patient until the light turns green. John will ask Mark (again) about replacing the door/jambs. Until then it was suggested that we leave it unlocked. Two line sweepers were refurbished and two more need brushes. Golf Course is in the process of replacing the water pump station, should be done in May. The clean-up went very well, John was impressed with the amount of work that was done. Debris is the golf course’s responsibility. Only residents get the twice-a-year pickup for free.

6. Social Committee Report – Joyce Kraut: This Wednesday night dinner is at Sunseekers. Three members have come forward and want to do a monthly social at the courts (Jude Dawes, Mollie Chance, and Sandra Linek). Frank stated that he and Sandra are hosting a St. Patrick’s Day Party and Potluck at their home on Saturday, March 16th from 6 to 9 p.m. Joyce volunteered to send out an invite to the members. Several board members volunteered for setup at 5 p.m. 

7. Website Report - Frank Linek: Thanked Steve for helping in getting reimbursed for the website fee ($192) and having the automatic renewal process in place. Over the summer he will start fine-tuning the website as to how it should look on a laptop/tablet or mobile device. Full Administrative Privileges set up for Frank, Linda Baumann, and Cheryl. Schedulers were added to the profile. Cheryl was added as the Court Reservationist to input to the new calendar. We are looking for feedback on the Calendar from the members.

8. EVENT COORDINATORS – Joyce Kraut: Larry Durey suggested that the Jerry Fisher Men’s Open be titled “Jerry Fisher Drop-In Event”. He was asked to outline how he does the play for when he is not here as he does it two different ways depending on the number of players. Joyce hinted that there was a group now playing league but wanting to start an intra-club competitive type play. Sharon suggested ways to add a group to the 50+ League. Joyce is willing to help but does not want responsibility. Men’s and Women’s Open is supposed to be competitive. During the summer they are scheduled together due to lack of players usually.

Article: Martha submitted an article to be put into the “Grapevine”. What was printed was different, but it did have the G-mail address in it. It was suggested that we showcase Dagmar in the next newsletter. Let residents know that you can play tennis as you get older. This could be something the Social Committee could do as part of getting new members.

5. Maintenance Report – John expressed concerns over the amount of water disbursed on the courts. There are shells in the system clogging the heads again. The clay courts need to be watered once a day. Weeds were sprayed for, though we had already sprayed around the courts. A line sweeper is being repaired. Courts were dragged last weekend by Armor’s son, no additional clay was added. Court Enhancement this Saturday, a reminder has since been sent out to the membership for volunteers. An updated flyer/information was added to include coffee and donuts. Asking for response also. We are to pile up the debris near the road for a special pickup. Mark is not lending us a utility cart.

7. Website Report – Court reservationist and coordinators have been trained. Frank, Linda, and Joyce met to clear up various issues and determine user devices. Feels we should stick with the Gmail system for court reservations by the members. Enhancements – a trial calendar page has since been added. Chris Nelson and Frank will discuss the “Team Reach” application that would allow us to have a calendar and quick messaging that would go to everyone that has the “app”. Frank turned in an invoice to Steve for $192 for the Website renewal. Funds should come from Jack/Mark.

8. Additions to Agenda – Jerry Fisher Memorial. It was attended by Jerry’s wife Dolores, 2 grandchildren, and a daughter and many tennis members. Donations of $410 were given to Dolores.

Discussion over adding a brick walkway and those donating would have their name added to it or in memory of a deceased member.

Seconded by John Sileno. Unanimous Agreement.

Playing on Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays with “By the Lights” on Wednesday evenings. Frank suggested that they could edit their pages on the tennis website. Court conditions are not good with only 3courts playable. Suggested we should send photos and request for court improvements to be made to Jack/Mark. Windscreens – John will contact Armor’s son for used windscreens. John has since put up some screens that were stored behind our restroom building.

AGM & Election – Tuesday, March 5, 2024, at the SLCC from 3 pm to 5 pm for the membership. The Tennis Committee will meet at 1:30 at the SLCC for a meeting and to set up.

Cheryl Domingo (USTA) added that the 2 new USTA players would be paying their $32 for the next session beginning Jan. 20th. Cheryl Domingo Status: Motion moved by Frank Linek, to approve Cheryl’s acceptance of the nomination to the Tennis Committee replacing PJ Scott due to his resignation (in October due to health reasons). She will replace him until the March AGM 2024. Then will have to re-run. Seconded by Martha Scribner. Carried unanimously. We are still waiting to hear if the motion passed by the board regarding Steve Higgins’ status as honorary member has been approved by Jack. Frank suggested that a photo of the check/application be sent to schedulers and Linda to expedite the adding of a new member.

 

5. MAINTENANCE REPORT:  Mark stated the (golf) club would be paying for the mulch of which 30 bags should be dropped off at the clay courts by January 29th. Clean up is scheduled for Jan 27 at 9 am provided USTA does not have a match at that time.  (As of Jan 8 – first date open is Feb. 10th). We are not participating in the POA’s Cleanup Day.  John will make up a list of work projects and contact Mark again on debris take-away. Additional items were added to the flyer. The water leak on court 2 should be fixed this week as of now there is no water for the courts.

 

6. SOCIAL COMMITTEE REPORT: EVENTS: Proposed having a Jerry Fisher Memorial Potluck Event on Saturday, Jan 20 from 11 to 1 pm. Members will be able to donate towards a charity in honor of Jerry’s service and to show our appreciation. Suggestions made and it was decided to obtain one of Jerry’s tennis rackets to hang on the fence. Exact location to be determined. Martha suggested doing the same for Dick Beckendorf – she has contacted Marge. DINNERS: Wednesday night dinners are scheduled. Riviera Grill on Jan 17th, Tamiami Tavern on the 24th and Carmello’s on the 31st. Still waiting on confirmations.

 

7. DEFIBRILATOR: Agreed to have Linda schedule a training for January 20th in hopes that we will have people attending the Memorial interested in how to operate it. We have one in the restroom and the membership will be asked not to hide it inside the cabinet as those not familiar with our facilities wouldn’t know where to look. Also, that the area should be policed by playing team members to make sure nothing is left in the spectator areas. Captains should try to find the owners. This includes the restroom area. Frank to add to website pages.

 

8. MEN’S OPEN: Larry Durey moved a motion to rename the Men’s Open to the Jerry Fisher Open. Seconded by Stephan Pare. Unanimously carried. Suggestions made as to the best days/times to have the Open as it has been difficult to get enough players (Women’s Open has the same problem) during league season. Consensus to have Larry try different times/days depending on the court scheduling to come up with the best scenario. He does not need the Committee’s approval to move it around. Martha stated she would help.

 

9. USTA: Next session is from January 20 to March 20th. As soon as Cheryl has the schedule, she will let Frank know. The usual schedule is some Saturdays from 9 to11 and Wednesday evenings from 6 to 8. April 1st, they switch to practices and schedule 2 legacy events.

 

10. WEB SITE REPORT: It was re-confirmed that we would continue with the current provider at $192 for this year. After discussion of several other providers, using links from Golf Course site and POA site of which being able to control our constantly updating pages is an issue, it was decided that he would continue to investigate using the summer period to come up with a better resolution. One suggestion was asking Jack to return a kick-back per member to the club to support the website. We cannot afford to pay this out as an on-going expense. He has since decided that “google docs” is not the way to go.

 

11. AGM: Decided was Tuesday, March 5, at 3 pm for the membership. Venue has since been determined - to hold at the Seminole Lakes Country Club. There are now 5 director spots opening with Harriette’s resignation: Joyce Kraut, Marth Scribner, Cheryl Domingo (having taken PJ’s spot), Harriette DiStefano, and one of which is for a Pickleball representative.  NOMINATING COMMITTEE:  Proposed was to have the person leaving recruit a member. Suggested was being able to ask a non-member that is related to a member to hold a position or be in training for a director position, was something to explore. Joyce added that the new members (Suzie and Deana) may be interested in coming on board as Social Director. All nominations should be to the board by February 20th. Qualifications were important.

TENNIS COMMITTEE MEETING MINUTES

TUESDAY – MAY 9, 2023 – 3 P.M. – 26173 Stillwater Circle

Absent with regrets: V-President John Sileno, Membership Chair Sharon McQueen, Web Master Frank Linek, Larry Durey, Stephan Pare, and PJ Scott.

​

1. PRESIDENT’S REMARKS – Meeting called to order at 3:10 pm.  The meeting commenced while waiting for PJ Scott.

2. APPROVAL – APRIL 4, 2023, MINUTES – No vote as a quorum was not present

​

3. TREASURER’S REPORT – Steve Higgins read his report. Due to lack of quorum the report could not be received. Steve reported that we had received $35 from the Social, expenses of $47.07 for 4 windsocks leaving a balance of $723.97. Pickleball reported that they maintain their own cash box for social fees/guest fees and expenses that include supplying the balls.

4. MEMBERSHIP REPORT – TENNIS/PICKLEBALL – none.

5. MEMBERSHIP FEES / FORM – TENNIS/PICKLEBALL – Discussion covered the fees of which the pickleball members felt that their current fees were adequate considering the surface of the courts. The discussion over the membership form included using only one for both the tennis and pickleball members, keeping the volunteer request portion, incorporating the Nov 1 through Oct 31st season for both tennis and pickleball. The Pickleball Guidelines were also discussed regarding the paragraph on “summer play is free for new players” with fees charged for Nov and Dec. They were asked to eliminate “free” as the tennis players are charged a summer fee to play whether it is on the hard courts or soft courts. More discussion to follow in the Fall but for now it was felt a $10 fee per month for now was fair until fees were resolved in the Fall. They considered the $50 not to be an annual but a 6-month fee. Free in summer and charged for Oct and November.

​

6. MAINTENANCE REPORT – Joyce reported that John had been tacking down the lines and working on the white fence that hides the rear of the tennis facility.

                                              

7. PICKLEBALL COURT UPDATE – Only 3 pickleball courts are considered safe to play on. Windscreens - Joyce will ask John Sileno to look at obtaining good used windscreens, as we often can get decent castoffs from other clubs. Steve proposed that the pickleball members write a letter to Jack to initiate a conversation regarding the condition and negotiate with a proper fee in mind.

​

8. WEBSITE REPORT – No report. Denise MacIsaac will be contacting Frank about the “linking” problem she was having as “401 PAGE ERROR” in attempting to use a link from the Pickleball Guidelines. Discussion over putting out club articles in the Grapevine Newsletter as Lori will be writing an article for the Fall edition.

​

9. NEXT MEETING – OCTOBER TBD; Meeting adjourned at 4:20 pm.
