Information
Tennis Serves Others is a growing organization that is governed by Chapters and a Corporate Board. TSO brings together women from various tennis skill levels and different clubs within a community, establishing a unique charitable team. Each new chapter enhances our capacity to assist individuals, families, and other charitable organizations. This presents an opportunity to cultivate new friendships, uniting around our shared passions for tennis and community service.
Tennis Serves Others (TSO) Chapters are governed by Chapter by-laws:
- Each TSO Chapter is managed by the Chapter Board of Directors consisting of three to seven board positions such as TSO Chapter President, Membership Chair, Beneficiary Chair, Events Chair, and a Tennis Soles for Other Chair. Chapter boards meet every other month to plan events, discuss service projects and other pertinent Chapter matters.
- Each Chapter is responsible for holding at least two charity round robins, one service project and two membership meetings for honorary chapter members.
- Chapters seek to promote, assist, enhance and further TSO’s mission – to unite ladies in the tennis community to organize and promote charitable activities benefiting needy individuals, groups or organizations in our local communities and throughout the world.
- How do I start a TSO Chapter?
If you have a few friends, even just two more, who can work together to set up round robins at your local club or at a public court then starting a chapter is possible. - How much assistance do I get?
TSO is guided by Bylaws and a “President’s book” that walks you through all steps including how to recruit members, organizing a charity round robin, conducting meetings, etc. TSO Corporate provides you with a Chapter starter kit and the tools needed to help you connect with other passionate ladies to ultimately help others.
