DOCTA SALUTES VOLUNTEERS

At a Volunteer Appreciation Dinner on October 1, 2002 at Golden Corral Restaurant, the Durham-Orange Community Tennis Association Board of Directors expressed appreciation to over 20 volunteers who supported grass roots tennis in the community and participated in the 2002 events sponsored by the Association. Certificates were awarded to all volunteers. Special appreciation was noted for the Durham Parks and Recreation League Coordinator, Tammy Brown, for her commitment to tennis in the community. Also, a plaque was award to the wife and children of the late Cardoza McCollum. Cardoza McCollum was chairman and advisor for the Southeastern Tennis Association for over 25 years. He passed away in September 2002. His commitment to grassroots tennis for African American juniors exemplifies the efforts put forth many years ago to support youth and to growth tennis.
