Ghana Tennis Abroad (GTA) Fundraiser
During the many years that Narh Tetteh has been a Tennis Pro at LNSRC, members have witnessed his modest efforts to collect gently used tennis equipment and clothing, a collection he then takes to his homeland to distribute to aspiring young tennis players. Narh grew up in a poor community in Ghana, and he is sensitive to the needs of the youth in his country. In 2005, some LNSRC members decided to get involved and assist Narh's efforts by hosting a tennis tournament to raise money to help defray the cost of shipping this equipment and to further Narh's good works. This tournament has been a great success and the hosts of the event are extremely grateful to the patrons and many sponsors who support this worthwhile event.
