After working seven years in the tennis industry, I decided to organize a Johns Hopkins University (JHU) Alumni Tennis event with the help of Ana Zampino, New York JHU Alumni president. Together, we decided on the event format, goodie bags and even included custom t-shirts (shown in the photo above) from Mehdy Karbid, Loriet Sports tennis apparel owner.

Having gone to Hopkins, I thought it would be a healthy and different way to socialize with fellow Alumni. We scheduled the event for Oct. 20, 2012, and confirmed attendance the week before. Finally, on the night of the event, 12 people gathered in the lounge, and I assigned four people to each court, three courts total, for 40 minute rotations from 8:00 p.m.-10:00 p.m. I ran one Cardio court, and supervised two double courts. At 10:00 p.m., we reminisced about our days at Hopkins over drinks and snacks, and discussed upcoming JHU Alumni events.

We’re all looking forward to the 2nd New York JHU Alumni Tennis Event on March 16 at Roosevelt Island Racquet Club (located at 281 Main Street in  Roosevelt Island, N.Y.) so please spread the word!
