Samson Dubina made a surprise visit to our
club this past Saturday, giving tips to
several players who were on hand.

He is available for personal coaching on
Mondays & Wednesdays before 6 pm. If you can
commute to his house in Akron, fees are only
$35/hour. However, if you would like Samson
to come to your house, it will be $80 the
first hour and $35 each additional hour.

There are additional discounts by arranging
for lessons over enough consecutive weeks.

If interested, contact Samson at
hammondproking@aol.com or 330-949-9230.

Nittaku 3-Star Premium balls are now
available for purchase at a cost of
$2 per ball.

We ask that folks limit their purchase
to no more than three balls per month,
while supplies last.

In the future, we'll likely be taking
orders for up to two dozen balls per
person and dispensing them according
to these amounts upon delivery.

When enacted, this policy change will mean
that balls will no longer be available to be
bought a few at a time at a moment's notice.

Instead, you should tell us how many you
want for the duration of a 3 to 4 month
period. At the end of these periods, another
group order will be arranged, and so on.

p.s. Komann balls will also still be
available at a cost of 75 cents per ball.

The gymnasium has recently been
equipped with air-conditioning.

However, a $4 per hour fee will be assessed
by the landlord if we decide to use it.

Thus, we will attempt to do without
the air conditioning whenever possible.

However, when the humidity level is extreme
and a majority of players are in agreement,
we will turn on the air to alleviate the
situation. (6/29/2009)
