playing the game, rallying with one another, moving around and having fun. Scaling the game down to their size helps make the learning process easier and a lot more fun. By being
introduced to this style of play from the start, your kids will gain confidence by seeing their own immediate progress, making them more enthusiastic about continuing to play and improve. QuickStart Tennis enables kids to have more enjoyable experiences early on in the learning process and having fun is always a factor in keeping kids involved. It's the fast,
fun way to get kids into tennis-- and keep them playing. Minumum class size 6.

Our annual awards process begins now, if you know of any great "preservation" projects, additions to old buildings etc, nominate them.

Repair it, restore it or tear it down? Could “This Old House” be a very special place? It’s that time of year again, time to honor those who work to preserve and restore the places in our community that lend so much character to our life in Missoula. Have you or your neighbor transformed a wretch of a building to a livable wonder? The Missoula Historic Preservation Commission is seeking nominations for the 2010 Missoula Historic Preservation Awards. According to Missoula’s Historic Preservation Officer, Philip Maechling, nominations must be submitted for the 2010 Preservation Awards program by Monday March 1st at 5:00 p.m. “This is an opportunity to say thanks,” said Maechling,” to those responsible for restoring an old house, for designing an addition that is compatible with the historic character of the neighborhood, for painting projects that emphasize the historic architectural elements of a home, or for contributing to community preservation as an individual or group. Such recognition has been shown to help inspire new projects that continue to make Missoula a “Preserve America” community.”
The 20th Annual Missoula Historic Preservation Awards are judged by the Missoula Historic Preservation Commission, with the awards given during National Historic Preservation Month, May, 2010. Projects must have been completed in, 2007, 2008 or 2009.

The Sentinel Kiwanis Club of Missoula is soliciting nominations for the 22nd annual Volunteer of the Year Award for the greater Missoula Area. The award is named the Lyle R.
