It was a successful Summer for the Shores’ tennis community. Welcomed by six newly resurfaced courts, players were given the opportunity to participate in organized Round Robins, groove their strokes against a new ball machine, and participate in Group Clinics or take Private Lessons from resident professional, Gretchen Theodorou. In fact, based on the numbers provided by the L&R Office, hundreds of hours of play occurred each week during July and August. Thanks to the members of the Tennis Interest Group, and especially to Gretchen for helping to develop and promote a well-rounded tennis program! To stay connected to Shores’ tennis activities, players may send their e-mail address to Tennis Interest Group Chair Mike Brennan at ilikemike327@aol.com. A roster of players is being developed to make it easier to share tennis news via e-mail.

A REMINDER FOR DOG OWNERS

In an effort to help residents preserve Coronado’s quality of life – unique charm, appearance, and friendly atmosphere – the Police Department reminds residents of the importance of cleaning up after all of their family members, including their dogs. Doing so will prevent harmful bacteria from entering the storm drain system which goes untreated directly into the ocean – Coronado Shore’s front yard. Residents are required by law to pick up after their dogs whenever they are in a public place. Coronado Shores holds residents similarly responsible with its own rules and regulations for the common areas within the community. An easy way for residents to avoid problems with their neighbors is to make sure their dogs do not take advantage. Further, dogs may be off leash only at Dog Beach. They must be leashed if in the common areas of the community at Coronado Shores. (City of Coronado – Coronado Currents)
