 IMPROVE YOUR TENNIS GAME!
 
tennis racketWhile it’s true that summer is a great time for kids to learn and improve their tennis game, it is also a great season for adults to improve their skills! One of the best ways to get quality structured practice is to attend our Adult Clinics. These clinics are available either Tuesday and Wednesday nights or Saturday and Sunday mornings - depending on your skill level. While they are not meant for beginners, anyone with some experience will find that our clinics improve their game.
You may also find new hitting partners and league teams to join!
One newcomer Frank L. said, “I just moved here a few months ago and wanted to find a 3.0 team to join. After being recommended to the clinics, I was able to find a group of guys right away after meeting their captain on Sunday.”
 
Clinics are taught by Coaches Carol, Mike, and Ahmed. For more information, call Fremont Tennis Center at (510) 790-5510.
 
Besides our Adult Clinics, Fremont Tennis Center is proud to introduceTennis Man - web.jpg our new private instructor, Coach Mike Walton. Coach Walton is USPTR certified and has taught at the Peter Tafarella Academy at Saratoga the past two years. He is an experienced small group and private coach. Currently he is offering clinics for novice and challenger tournament level children on Mondays and Wednesdays. For more information please, call Coach Walton directly at (408) 679-9647.
Come find out why the Fremont Tennis Center is still the ‘Place to Learn, the Place to Play!’

 

 MOONSHINE IN THE GARDEN

This year, Patterson House added Moonshine in the Garden to its repertoire of Murder Mysteries. It is a fast moving story set in 1926, during Prohibition. It is the third Mystery written about fictionalArdenwood Farm180x120.jpg happenings at the Patterson House. The others: The Railroad Man set in 1904 against a historic conflict between Rancher George Patterson and the South Pacific Coast Railroad, and George’s Bag of Gold from 1905 regarding a family story about a bag of gold buried on the property, will also be offered. 

For all of our mysteries, you have been invited to a garden Party at the Patterson Home. You arrive to find that something terrible has happened! Someone - possibly a guest (oh my!) or perhaps one of the workers - has been found dead in the bathtub upstairs, on the lawn, or behind the milk house. The evening’s challenge is to figure out who did it? And Why?

1000791643.jpgBy the time you arrive, the body has been removed by the local Doctor. The Sheriff will be down from Oakland tomorrow, but the farm foreman wants your help to get this settled before the sheriff arrives.

Our volunteers take on roles, many based on real people who lived and worked both on the farm and nearby.  Conveniently, your host, Clara Patterson, or maybe her son Henry have been detained, so a niece, nephew, or a sister will step in and host the party.

 

You will be taken on a tour of Patterson House, meeting a couple of family members, the butler, a maid, and the cook - each with information (and maybe an alibi…).  Some of the neighbor ladies are here to help with the party…. They might know something (too much?) as well.

You are encouraged to ask questions. After your tour, you will be seated at the dinner party held on the tennis court behind the house. During dinner, guests will discuss their theories and can ask additional questions of the residents or revisit the house.Flower - white Lily MH900422834 - web.JPG

Come join us for a little history, some fiction and an engaging evening of fun! Find out if YOU can figure out ‘Who did it’.

Becoming More Connected and Intimate…

Whether it’s helping students to become skilled in compassionate and mindful communication or facilitating the engaging expressive art of SoulCollage®, Eileen Pardini is excited to bring her enlightening workshops to Fremont, her home town, this summer.

“All of my work is about tending to the quality of all of our relationships with others, self, and the Earth. It is about becoming more connected with our world and developing more intimacy in our relationships. I call my work earthkeeping and believe that now more than ever, we all need to become earthkeepers, because environmental issues are relationship issues. Learning to care about others - other species, people in other countries, our neighbors, our families, future generations, ourselves - is to genuinely care for our one, sacred Earth.”

Couple on park bench MH900227626 - web.JPGIn her workshop, The Practice of Council, participants learn to honor listening and dialoguing with another and/or a group. “So much of our communication these days is about texting, tweeting, and status updates. Yet all of us long for relationships where we feel really connected, listened to, and respected. The Practice of Council is about slow communion and honoring interpersonal relating as sacred. One of the best gifts we can give to another is to mindfully and respectfully, listen. These are effective communication skills that will serve the planet well.”

 

In her SoulCollage® Expressive Art Workshop, participants spend a day creating a personal deck of cards which celebrate their personal Art Collage w Scissors MH900402264 - web.JPGstories, unique personas, animal allies, influential relationships, and guiding archetypes. “I never get tired of SoulCollage®. If you know how to use scissors and a glue stick, you can do SoulCollage®. It is a profoundly engaging and meaningful practice for becoming more intimate with and developing compassion for oneself and others. It is a whole lot of fun too!”
