The Multnomah Athletic Club Presents

2009 Pacific Coast Doubles Championships

The 2009 Pacific Coast Doubles Championships is just around the corner. Let's not skip over the holiday season but be sure to mark your calendar for January 23rd. May I remind you also to make your flight plans now for this event? Remember that if you are nice … Santa Claus may even stuff your stocking with some tournament budget funds (like an entry fee or plane ticket to PDX). This year's tournament is sponsored in part by the Multnomah Athletic Foundation and help from Tom Wrightson.

We are excited for some early commitments to the draw that will assure some great competition in the age groups. With your participation this will be true of all of the divisions. In addition to a hosted Saturday night dinner there will be food next to the courts Friday night and a voucher for food available at the club restaurants throughout the weekend. And of course frosty is flowing at the tap, thanks to MacTarnahan's Brewing Company.

Please be sure to let us know if our team of Chuck Williams, Ann Johnson or I can help make this trip happen for you. Ann is a great resource for museum venues or day and evening events or outings available in downtown Portland (as most of you know a short walk from the Multnomah Athletic Club).

Congratulations to the following current reigning tournament champions:

We expect our champs will arrive in force to defend their respective title.

Entry deadline is Friday, January 16 at 4:30 p.m.
