Hello Table Tennis Enthusiasts,
Covid-19 was such an unprecedented and difficult 2020 for countless people and small businesses! What I have learnt is that people & unfortunate situations come and go in life, but Table Tennis is forever! Pandemic or not, table tennis never leaves us!
From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU Everyone for the continued support of LATTA during pandemic. I specifically remember each and every one of you that were by my side last year. I sincerely appreciate the continued paid memberships, all the financial donations, supporting my Saturday morning round robin, and the emotional support you have provided to LATTA and I during the difficult times. I’ve made new friendships with newer members & students while deepening my relationship with my old members & students. The struggles we face in life only makes us more resilient & determined!
The show must go on, let’s continue to pong! LATTA has been opened daily, 7 am to about 11 pm, even on major holidays! The peak times are from 3pm and after on weekdays and between 2pm to 7pm on weekends. We are hosting the upcoming events:
UNDER 2150 ROUND ROBIN, EVERY SATURDAY AT 10:10 AM
We have Under 2150RR every Saturday, except on a tournament day. The next one is Sat., June 19. Fun, friendly, and a great learning experience! Play everyone in your group, about 7-12 matches at a low rate! Only $10 for non-LATTA members, $6 for LATTA members. Give me your email address if you’d like to join our weekly RR distribution list.
