President/General Manager's Message
Dear Members,
Let’s dive into July like Greg Louganis!
Dad Joke of the Month: Since America is turning 250 this year, I asked the Statue of Liberty how she's celebrating.
She said, "Honestly, I'm just trying to hold myself together for another 250!"
As we celebrate Independence Day this July 4th, I have three recommendations to help you get into the patriotic spirit. First, cheer like crazy for the U.S. Men's National Team as they take on Bosnia and Herzegovina on July 3rd.
Second, join us for our annual 4th of July Swim Races from 12:00–2:00 PM on July 4th. It's always a fun afternoon filled with family-friendly games, races, and prizes.
Finally, if you're looking for something to watch over the holiday weekend, I highly recommend The American Revolution is a six-part, 12-hour documentary by Ken Burns, now streaming on PBS. I'm about halfway through, and it's been fascinating. My wife, on the other hand, is usually asleep by the end of each episode!
Be sure to save the date for OHTC's 50th Anniversary Celebration on Saturday, August 1 at 12:00 PM! We'll be celebrating 50 years of Oakland Hills Tennis Club with food, drinks, music, and plenty of opportunities to reconnect with fellow members while honoring the people and memories that have made OHTC such a special place since 1975.
We'll also have T-shirt giveaways, raffle prizes—including one lucky member winning ONE YEAR OF FREE DUES—plus face painting, balloons, and other fun activities for the kids. We hope you'll join us.
Finally, if you haven't already, take a few minutes to check out our newly redesigned website at OaklandHills.com. A special thank you goes to my brother, Ryan Thompson, who gave the site a fresh new look.

Group Fitness
Yulia Wynn, Director
Dear Members,
Let's Celebrate Summer Strong!
July is the perfect time to enjoy the longer days, warm weather, and all the opportunities to stay active and healthy. Whether you’re joining us for a group fitness class, taking a walk outdoors, swimming, hiking, or simply making time for movement each day, every step you take contributes to your overall well-being.
As we move into the heart of summer, remember that consistency is more important than perfection. A few workouts each week, healthy nutrition choices, proper hydration, and quality rest can make a significant difference in how you feel and perform. Small, sustainable habits often lead to the greatest long-term results.
This month, challenge yourself to try something new. Attend a class you’ve never taken before, introduce yourself to a fellow member, or set a personal fitness goal. Our instructors are here to support and encourage you every step of the way.
With warmer temperatures, don’t forget to stay hydrated before, during, and after exercise. Listen to your body, especially during outdoor activities, and make time for recovery as part of your fitness routine.
Thank you for being part of our fitness community. Your dedication, positive energy, and support of one another help make our club a welcoming place for everyone.
Wishing you a happy, healthy, and active July!
