Volunteers clean up tennis court

Several volunteers descended on the tennis courts in the Shadowood Greenways common area off 11th Street on Friday, May 16 to clean the surface of one of the courts.

The court is now ready for use, with the net also installed.

The Shadowood Volunteer Committee project is part of the Board of Directors’ effort to rehabilitate the tennis courts. Participating in the May 16 cleanup were Volunteer Committee Chairman Don Dyer, Board President Roger Pence, Architectural Committee Chair Vivien Pence, Board Secretary Peggy Rouse, Hospitality Committee member Nancy Vaughn, Budget Committee member Richard Rouse; and Shadowood residents Karen and Paul E.

Among the tools used by the volunteers was a power sprayer with a 20-inch rotary scrubber, borrowed from the newly opened McMinnville Tool Library.

“We still plan to clean the other court in the near future and repaint the stripes, if needed,” said Don Dyer, volunteer committee chair.
