MOVTA Continues to Serve Mid-Ohio Valley
The Mid Ohio Valley Tennis Association (MOVTA) would like to thank area community members who have supported our free tennis activity for kids 11 and under, to Celebrate National Tennis Month in May.
MOVTA had two fundraisers. One was at Sweet Frog in June, and the other one was held at Wendy's on 7th Street last week. The money collected will be used to help support Summer Rec Programs, Adult Social Leagues, Wood County Schools, and other projects, too.
MOVTA will continue to work on providing fundraisers and events (some are free) to get kids/adults interested in tennis or to improve on their tennis skills.
