SUBJECT:  End-of-Year Statement from The President

Dear UTTC Club Members,

Yesterday, we learned of the results of the University of Toronto Tennis Club 2024-2025 elections. As the outgoing President of this club, this is my final letter to our membership. 

When I joined our club in 2021, we had 20 members, and we have grown substantially to over 190 today. Our social media platforms have grown; we’ve revamped our Instagram and Discord platforms and developed a new website. 

Our teams have worked hard to build community, create connections, and deliver experiences that you will remember fondly. We tried our best, and I believe we have created a better tennis community at the University of Toronto. Delivering a lasting partnership with Eglinton Flats Winter Tennis Club has driven our success, and the year-round tennis that our Club offers is the structure that we have always needed. 

Today, on behalf of all members, I would like to congratulate the incoming Executive Team as they take on the challenging yet rewarding task of moving our Club forward. In particular, I would like to congratulate Koji Iwata, who will serve as our next President. I chatted with Koji last week and am confident that under his leadership, the Club will develop into an even greater community. 

Stepping aside is something I have not taken lightly. However, in all great organizations, all leaders must look toward the next generation. We are in great hands. I will take on our Communications portfolio this upcoming year in a more mentorship role within the Club. I know that I'll forever cherish what we have built together. I hope that you all stay a part of UTTC and continue to contribute to our Tennis Club. 

Thank you for being a member. 

Best wishes,
Victor Zheng

President
