It’s the time of year to turn our thoughts to that great tradition of Labor Day Tennis in Princeton! Sign-ups will be open from 8:00 AM, Thursday, August 1 until 12:00 noon on Wednesday, August 21. Play will begin on Monday, August 26, and will continue through the week and the holiday weekend with finals played on Monday, September 2. As we have done in recent years, we’ll start with mixed doubles Monday evening and continuing evenings through the rest of the week. Men’s and women’s doubles will start either Thursday evening or Friday evening, depending on the size of the draws. Don’t miss the chance to be part of this great event – come on out and join the fun!

Remembering our Friend Dennis Moore
As many of you may have heard, our friend Dennis Moore passed away recently. His obituary may be viewed here. Dennis was a great lover of tennis, an avid player for most of his life, and a huge supporter of tennis in Princeton. We all extend our condolences and deepest sympathies to his wife Anne and to his entire family.
Dennis served for 40 years on the Princeton Labor Day Committee. That is an amazing record, and a labor of love for our community. We are so grateful to him. The Moore family has generously suggested supporting the tournament as one possible way of honoring Dennis’ memory. For anyone inclined to do so, checks may be made out to Princeton Labor Day Committee, Inc., and sent to:
