As the sun rises each weekday morning, so do the members of the Morning Glories. From 7:00 to 8:00 a.m., Monday through Friday, the courts come alive with friendly competition, laughter, and plenty of great tennis.

What makes the Morning Glories special is the mix of people it brings together. Retirees and recent retirees share the courts with working professionals, graduate students, and other early risers who all appreciate starting the day with exercise, camaraderie, and a few well-struck tennis balls. Whether it's singles or doubles, there's always a good match—and good company—to be found.

Players sign up on a week-to-week basis, making it easy to join whenever your schedule allows.

Many thanks to Farz for coordinating the group and keeping everything running smoothly. If you'd like to be added to the Morning Glories email list, simply email f.shargh@gmail.com.

We also want to recognize Cathy Herman, who led the program for many years and helped create the welcoming tradition that continues today. Thank you, Cathy, for laying the foundation for a program that has become a favorite part of so many members' mornings.
