The Ball's In Our Court!





Yes, the first of three big finishes has arrived. On the beautiful afternoon of May 19th. at 5:00 p.m., in the Year of Our Lord, 2009, the Moloney-Shaughnessy Tennis Center of Notre Dame Academy is blessed and the ribbon cut. A goodly crowd of parents, friends, and donors is here to celebrate the grand event, with Fr. Brian Wigger asking God's blessing, and members of the administration and Mr. Moloney sharing their thoughts and feelings about the accomplishment. The couples whose photo you see are Doctors (Mr. and Mrs.) Moloney (left) and Mrs. and Mr. Shaughnessy. These two couples provided the impetus for the construction of the courts. Each court was given, then, by a family interested in NDA's pursuit of the sport--five in all. These donors each received an NDA tennis racket to acknowledge their contribution. How else to celebrate such an event than with a beautiful cake. The team members with their coach got down to business after the refreshments--there are games to be played yet, and the team is eager to use the new facility to sharpen their skill. Let the games go on--on the brand new and beautiful NDA Tennis Center! Be sure to go below for more photos.
