Tennis tournament
sign-up closes June 3
The mixed-doubles tennis tournament
taking place June 7 to 9 as a
fundraiser for the Westmount recreation
centre was the brain-child of longtime
Westmount resident Antony
Kovic, for whom tennis has been a family
affair.
“I was trying to think out of the box
of a way to raise funds and bring people
together in a really inclusive environment,”
he told the Independent last
week.
Kovic proposed the idea to the main
fundraising committee and then put together
his committee comprising Mai
Nguyen, Milica Vachon, Carole Papich
and Zurirma Ling.
A resident of Forden Ave., Kovic said
it will take place at Murray Park with
the closing party to be held outside the
comfort station.
With the registration deadline approaching
June 3, Kovic said he’s expecting
more than 30 doubles teams.
“The tournament is designed to appeal
to players of all skill levels, from teens
to seniors,” he said. “It’s a smaller initiative,
but we hope to have a lot of fun.”
Competitors can pair up with a partner,
family member, friend or child –
over 14 unless tennis trained. Registration
is online at www.wrc2013campaign.com
at $75 per person.
