The Eastman community rallied this past weekend and raised approximately $4,000 for the Upper Valley Humane Society. Approximately 42 players enjoyed the fun by playing in a mixed doubles tournament. The day was hot but overcast, the sun hiding behind the clouds. This became an important factor as the teams that kept winning played for close to 4 hours. The winners were the husband and wife team of Christine and Sean Alewine. Eastman residents and also members of the Eastman Men’s A tennis team. (Yes, Christine played mens A) They had their hands full in the finals but managed to hold on down the stretch for the win.
The Humane Society brought a few dogs down to be on display for all the players to see and one of the dogs was adopted!! Having been one of the sponsors of the tournament I couldn’t be happier! A significant accomplishment of fun and generosity, with a lot of help from a lot of volunteers.
