Hi Manhattan Country Club Tennis Community,
The Coronavirus will put our tennis pros on the sidelines indefinitely. This will be a lot worse than a week of rain. Let's help them out in this time of need. No pressure, but just remember that these are the people that determine your Calcutta handicap!! :-)
(Note that if Bay Club also cuts staff, we may consider allocating some of this to support the staff as well.)
Hopefully we can all get back to normal soon...
Thanks in advance!!!

GoFundMe emailed me to add the following specific information:
(1) I am Dave Davis, from Manhattan Beach, CA.
(2) I am a member of Manhattan Country Club and frequent tennis player. I or my family have taken lessons or participated in clinics with most of the tennis pros at MCC.
(3) Funds will be allocated directly to the tennis pros on an equitable basis (likely pro rata based on their average hours per week, but to be discussed). That allocation will be fair and transparent.
(4) Gofundme has asked for the "withdrawal plan". Based on emails with Gofundme, I will withdraw the funds and deposit them in my checking account for a brief moment and then send money to the pros by Venmo, check, PayPal or Zelle. I will do so with transparency to other members. I have asked fellow member and donor Tony Rojko to watch the transactions for transparency, and invite any other members who are interested to check the financial paper trail.
