Pat reported that she spoke to LSLCA President, Greg Jones, about resurfacing all courts.  Greg informed Pat that only courts 3 and 4 will be done this year, because this is what the LSLCA Board felt necessary.  Pat asked Greg to attend our March LSLTA meeting to give LSLTA directors information about court resurfacing.  Greg informed Pat that he would like to attend an LSLTA meeting perhaps this summer, but it was tax season and he would not be able to attend the next meeting.
