Edgewood Update 3/25

Dear Members,

In light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic we are in full support of practicing social distancing. Our tennis courts are still available to members for free and to non-members for $10. That being said, If you choose to play tennis it’s recommended that you do so with another friend or family member that is also taking precautions and to keep a safe distance of at least 6 feet. On another note, we are looking forward to fully opening up the club this Memorial day if it is safe to do so.  Take care and stay safe!
