After 25 years of serving as Tennis Director at the Bel Air Ridge Tennis Club, former professional player Gene Malin is finally hanging up his racket and retiring this year. On September 22, family, friends, former and current students and the community will gather at the clubhouse to honor Gene's long dedication to the sport along with his warm heart, wry smile and amazing patience. The Tennis Committee at Bel Air Ridge Homeowners Association is sponsoring this GoFundMe Retirement page to provide a way for all of us who know Gene to show our appreciation one last time. THE ASSOCIATION'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS HAS GENEROUSLY AGREED TO MATCH EVERY DOLLAR DONATED -- SO PLEASE DONATE! Gene will go out the winner no matter what but it will be even nicer if he can also go out with some extra prize money. Thank you.
