The longest-running local tennis tournament in Southern California, the 56th Annual Roy Emerson Tennis Classic benefiting the Holy Family Services and Foster Care Agency (HFS) will be held at the Palisades Tennis Club in Newport Beach over the Memorial Day holiday weekend. They will be joined by other local tennis facilities including The Tennis Club, The Racquet Club of Irvine and Mesa Verde Country Club. Up to 400 local players will compete in matches at all the venues leading up to final play on Memorial Day at Palisades Tennis Club.

Adoption Guild tournament volunteers have planned a series of special events including a lavish “Just for Fun” Tournament Party on May 28 starting at 6 p.m. at Palisades Tennis Club.  It will feature local food vendors, complimentary beer and wine and entertainment.

During the tournament players and guests will enjoy shopping at the boutique featuring tennis accessories and jewelry with wine tasting courtesy of One Hope Wines. Also, featured will be a raffle booth with over 25 wonderful prizes.

On Monday, May 29, FINALS day, the tennis will be spectacular for spectators.  A “Sponsor Garden” will welcome VIP sponsors with a champagne reception, gourmet food and premiere seating for viewing FINALS play. Roy Emerson is set to address the large contingent with support for the tennis community and for The Adoption Guild and their support of HFS.
