Tennis Fun Day Supports Animal Shelters in Edenvale
Story 1
A community tennis fun day at Merrylyn Tennis Club in Edenvale has collected cat and dog food for the Edenvale SPCA and The Cat Shack.
Instead of paying an entry fee, participants donated pet food, with families of all ages taking part in a day of coaching, social tennis and community activities.
Organisers say the event was designed not only to support local animal welfare organisations, but also to introduce more children and adults to tennis and encourage them to stay active.
The club hopes events like these will help grow the sport while continuing to serve the local community.
