Lee has been in Plano for several months. But, he decided to settle down in
Plano just recently.

Please review the attached Coach Lee's bio, he got very impressive
qualifications.�Actually, lots of our members have already known Coach Lee very
well. Last month, when I was in USATT National tourney at Las Vegas,�I saw
several�of Coach Lee's students won the National titles. So, Coach Lee got very
solid credentials as being a coach.�

We already have several excellent coaches in Plano, with Coach Lee, we�just have
an even �stronger coach group to help us. How lucky we are !!

If you or your kids are interested in improving your ping-pong skill, please

Many new members probably don't know our club's mission is beyond just playing
ping-pong. We have a much bigger scope,�our friendship and fun is not only
limited to�the ping-pong table. As a member,�we try to help each other in
many�different ways.�For example,�if a member's company has a job opening, he
will notify me to post the job for whole club.�For a job seeker, you have a much
better�chance to get the job thru�internal lead instead of any job.com.�

Now, I just got a job lead from our�member.�His company is looking for an IT
professional, the skill requirements are .Net and Microsoft� BizTalk.�Please
keep in mind, this company is only looking for "VERY HEAVY" technical experience
candidate.�This company is located in Irving with very stable financial
condition, they need to fill up this position ASAP.�If any member or his friends
got good qualifications, please send in your resume to me quickly -
waejon@....�

As for my role, I am only responsible forwarding the resume. After you send in
the resume, the company will contact you if they are interested in your
skills.�Sorry, I am not in any position to�do the�follow up or supply�more
detailed info.������

Since the economy and job market are so bad now, we need to circle the wagons to
fight the adversary environment together. Please don't under estimate the
people's power. We have very solid proven records,�several members already found
their jobs thru our club.�Besides, I can�offer the resume service. Since I
have�helped my boss to review and screen hundreds of resumes,�I know exactly
what is the hiring manger wants to see on the resume. I helped many members to
find job after I modified�their�resumes.�

Hi All,

TM Center has been opened for table tennis now for over a year. The
issue with playing at the Center has always been the lighting in the
gym on Sunday. I am please to announce that the City has made a great
effort to correct this problem. Solar screens has been installed to
all the windows and glass doors. The lighting in the gym has improved
dramatically. I was there this past Sunday and I noticed that the
direct sunlight from the windows has been reduced by almost 100%. The
playing condition is a great improvement. So, if you have not been to
TM Center to play because of the poor lighting. Now you should try it.
We appreciate the City's effort in working with our club to resolve
the lighting issue.
The other issue at TM center is that I ask all of you to try to play
on the challenge tables and not on the 20 minute tables. If you should
happened to be on the 20 minute table. You need to keep in mind that
these are for non challenge player. Whenever someone that are not
serious ping pong players such as families and kids come in to play.
You need to give up the table for them. Otherwise, all the challenge
tables will be occupied by non challenge players. After a year at TM
Center. I think you all should know the rules by now. I would like not
to be the police of the gym every week and I hope you all can police
yourselves and if you see someone on the challege table that are not
playing challege. You can explain the rules to them and ask if they
can switch to the 20 minute table. Please be curtious to those that
are not as serious about ping pong as you are.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. See you all there !!

Hi, members, please mark down this very important date “May 2nd” on your
calendar. It is our 2009 World Peace TT Tournament date. The location will be at
the Plano’s flagship Recreation Center – Tom Muehlenbeck Center
(TMC).    
 
Most of you already know WP tourney very well. But, lots of out of town members
still don’t know anything about TMC. It is the newest recreation center and
also the crown jewels of Plano Park Dept. Please review the attached article. It
is from a magazine called “Texas Construction”. This magazine is for the
construction industry in Texas. They have selected a dozen of buildings in Texas
in 2008 as the Best in Texas. TMC is published as one of them.
 
But, the most uniqueness about TMC is not its superior design, luxury
facilities, Texas size gym and swimming pools, or friendly staff. It is the
neighborhood participation with the TMC design team which made the TMC as an
outstanding community center. During TMC early design stage, Plano city held
many public meetings and invited many local residents and civic groups to
provide the direct input to mold this center. It is nice to know that our club
was mentioned in the attached article as one of the groups that contributed to
the success of this building.
 
I am very proud that I could represent for our club, I worked with TMC design
team to develop this building for the table tennis sports.The original plan was
to put the ping-pong table in the multi-purpose room. After I told the design
team members, a defense ping-pong player could return the ball as 15 feet or
even higher. The construction engineers were shocked and admitted they
couldn’t raise the celling to that height. So, we agreed the table needed to
put in the gym instead of the multi-purpose room. The design member also asked
me about the size of a folding table in order to design the space for a storage
room. Besides the tables, I suggested we also needed to consider the space for
barriers. The design team enlarged the storage room a lot. So, we don’t  need
to worry about any storage issue today.
 
I know many members who are living in a customer house, so it is not a big deal.
But, any players who ever played in a gym which is customer designed for the
table tennis ?  This is only possible happened in Plano. So, you got
to register with World Peace to see it.    
 
Since it is still a little early for WP, I will send out the tourney entry form
later. But at this point, I would like to ask you to mark down this magic date
“May 2nd”.  I am very sure we will have wonderful time in such a a
wonderful building.
 
Thanks a lot..
 
Jon

Please review the attached 2009 Spring World Peace Table Tennis Tournament (WP)
entry form. This tourney will be held at Tom Muelehback Center on 05-02 (Sat.).
 
As I mentioned in prev email, Tom Muelehback Center was selected as one of the
best building in Texas. There are many table tennis tourneys in DFW area,
besides the award building, WP is definitely different from others.
 
In the first place, we have the best quality and quantity players which can
offer the best and tough fights for your pleasure.  I have been with many USATT
sanctioned tourneys, you play with the same players again and again, it is kind
of boring.  In our club, we have a bunch of members who have never played with
any tourneys except the WP. So, if you want to have good fights against the
players with diversified skills, then you got to register with us.
 
The second, our club is tied very closely with local ping-pong community. We are
a non-profit organization, all workers are non-paid volunteers. Our club donated
the training robot, ping-pong tables, barriers and many other item to the
recreation centers. For the barriers alone, we bought the top line product, it
costed our club more than $1000. So, if you support to the WP tourney, then it
means you support to our ping-pong community DIRECTRLY.
 
The registration is very simple, you can turn in the entry form to Cliff, James,
Will or me in the recreation center. Or, you can mail it to the address on the
entry form. We have many new members, may be you don’t know your rating, or
you don’t know who to turn-in the form. It is very easy, the only thing you
need to do is to ask around in the recreation center. It only takes us 2 minutes
to tell your rating.  Our club is like a big family, we all share our fun and
love with table tennis together.
 
If you have any questions, please feel free to send me email. Thanks..

Hi, Members;

We are just one week away from�WP tourney deadline, let us get more serious. I
attached the entry form again,�please turn in it on your earliest
convenience.�Please don't forget to put down your cellphone number, we need to
use the phone number to track you down during the WP tourney. Believe me, we
will have hundreds people show up�in TMC on 05-02, it is not an easy task to
find out where you are when it is your turn to play the game.�
��
On WP eve (05-01 Friday 9:30 PM), we need many volunteers to setup the ping-pong
tables in TMC.�We are going to change the�gym totally on 05-01 night. Plano city
will transport many bleachers to setup in�gym for our tourney. We also need to
setup many�dinning tables.

Besides, we�have already bought�4 new rolls of 3 ft x 250 ft�paper barriers and
200 ft hi-quality Andro plastic barriers. Totally, we prepared 1200 ft length of
barriers to�build a Chinese Great Wall inside TMC gym. But, we do�need people to
build up�the Grat Wall.

We also need many volunteers to help Will in Command Center to�shcedule for�the
events on 05-02.�Please register with Cliff for volunteer jobs.� Thanks for your
help.�

WE WANT�YOU !!���

Hi, Members;

Finally, the most exciting moment is almost�around the corner. But, to compete
the table tennis game is only�a� small part of�World Peace tourney. The major
fun part comes�from we�can get together as one big family to share�many things.

The fun�starts on 05-01 (Friday) night, we will rally together at the Tom
Muehlenbeck Center around 8:45 PM to setup the ping-pong tables and many
other�tourney facilities. I know you have been with many TT tourneys before.
But,�WP is the only one�that�requests you to be�part of the tourney.�This is a
typical team builder project for our club.�We prepared 1000+ Ft barriers to
build an "Indoor Great Wall" for WP tourney.�We will work together and have fun
together.���

But, the most important date is�on 05-02 WP tourney.�Please don't get a wrong
idea that it is only for the skilled players. WP�is�a festival, it is also a
community event, it is opening for everybody.�The Plano Mayor Pat Evens will be
our guest. The Dallas Morning News, the Plano Network TV station and�the No.1
Chinese newspaper - World Journal all will send out their reporters and camera
crews to our WP tourney.

This is a very high visible event. If we want to show�the public that�ping-pong
is a serious sports,�then,� please bring your family and your friends
to�participate the opening ceremony at 9 AM. We want to show�a big crowd. After
the opening ceremony, we will entertain you with�the DFW top�ranking�players
with�the opening event.�So, please be there on time.������

If you have not registered WP yet, you can turn in your form on tomorrow night
at TMC. Or, you can send in your registration info thru email before tomorrow
night and pay the fee on 05-02. Tomorrow night�is your last� chance to register
without late charge.
��
Thanks for your support to the table tennis sports !!

Jon

Very sorry to bother you one more time:

1. Please pay more attention to your own WP event schedule. The event
schedule�will be flowing very dynamically, you need to constantly check with the
command center for your next game.�If you fail to show up on the table to play
your game,�sorry, we can not wait for�long. We may need�to default your game.�

2. To eat your lunch inside the TMC building is highly recommend. Because TMC
will be very crowd and you will have trouble to find a parking space. Besdies,
there is only one McDonald fast food restaurant�near by. Our lunch box is fresh,
warm and tasty. For�pitiful $5, you can have a very nutritious lunch to supply
the energy you need. The only drawback is if you lose your afternoon game, then
you can not blame the result on your�lunch, it got to do with your skill.
Besides lunchbox, TMC�also offers quality food with reasonable price. I have
been with many tournaments which included the USATT in Las Vegas, Their food is
expensive and taste very lousy. If we dare to say we are the number one tourney
in DFW area, our food is number one too. If you need to order the lunchbox,
please�send me email ASAP.

3. Please don't eat or drink inside the gym. TMC keeps their hawk eyes to watch
and protect�the wood floor very seriously. I know it is inconvenient, but we
need to follow the rules.�

4. Some people is worry about the swine flu, I am very glad that WP is held in
this week. If WP is held�on next week or later, then we may need to cancel our
tourney.�This week is fine.

4. The most important thing, have a good sleep on Friday night.�

Please polish your weapons, I will see you all in the battle field.�

Hi, Members;

Yesterday, more than 100 players engaged the DFW biggest ping-pong tourney at
Tom Muehelenbeck  Center (TMC). Players started to check-in at 8:30 AM and we
finished the last game at 8:30 PM. Wow, what a wonderful 12 hours gentleman
fight for the ping-pong lovers.  

As previous WP, Mayor Pat Evans gave us an opening speech and we started the
tourney right away. At the late afternoon, we had very heavy thunder storm
outside. But the indoor fighting was even more fiercely than the
outside.          

The folliwngs are the game results: 
Open:  Shuai W, Sheng Ye (both were QD coaches), Andrew C.
U2300: Thiru K, Andrew C, Derrick M.
U2000: Larry S, Mahin R, Tim W.
U1800: Kam M, Mohammed A, Brandon C.
U1700: James S, Qian An, Sajeel.
U1500: Han V, Sajeel, Ying F.   
U1300: Jeffery Z, Azad A, Vivian L.
U1000; Phil House, Chris Kuhue, Austin L.
U700:   Tianming Xie, Chris Abbot, Johnathan, Li.
Senior: Shichiao Fang, Phil House, Frances M.

Congratulations to those trophy winners, I know it is not easy to win a
trophy. Especially, we have more than 30 players in each groups such as U1500
and U1700. You need to go thru many elimination games to reach to the top. 

Everybody knows American Airline has a famous "Frequent Flyer" program. As for
our club, we also have our own "Frequent Trophyer" program. If you are the
champion of an event, or you won the second or third places twice in the same
event, then you need to register with the higher event on next WP tourney. The
purpose of this automatically upgrade program is to lay down a fair battleground
for all players. Besides, we would like to force our player to setup a higher
challenge on himself and also give more encouragement for the new players.  

Our 2009 WP registration started lower than last year. Yes, we did lost lots
of the registrations from the old members,it worried me very much at the
beginning. Luckily, we got very strong support from the Tom Muehelenbeck
Recreation Center new members. I think we reach our club's mission perfectly
over the past years, we promote the ping-pong sports and create a huge
ping-pong population in Plano.

Thanks to all volunteers, without your help, we can not organize such successful
tourney. I also need to thank all players, without your support, we can not
have such fun event.  

Jon           

For those couldn't make the WP, please review the attached 2 pics. Cliff will
send out more pics�soon.�

Also I need to make a correction on the tournament results, The 3rd place on
U700 event should be Micheal Liang, my sincere apology to Michael and his
parents.

Jon

Hi, Members;

Pleased review the following website and the email from Russ, he is looking for
practicing partner.

Subject: Hardbat Ping Pong Championship

Jon,
� � Many people have been asking me why I played the World Peace
Tournament this weekend with a hardbat paddle. Although it is a ton of
fun and a�tribute to classic Ping Pong there is another reason that I would
like�
to share with the table tennis community.

I have been practicing hardbat part time for the past few months in
preparation for the Bud Light Hardbat National Championship Open. I
played�
in a local bar tournament 3 weeks ago to advance to the Dallas�
Championsip this past week.� I won the Dallas Championship and later�
beat the Denton Champion in order to qualify to represent this market�
in the Bud Light Open National Championship in Las Vegas in late�
June.� The event will be televised and the winner will take home $100k.

��� The odds of my winning are not good given that most of the best�
players in the country will be there. But the way I see it I got a�
free vacation to vegas to do what I love and a chance at $100k.(what
more can a any table tennis player ask for really!) With a hardbat
anything can happen and my chances are better than winning the lottery.
:-) Anyone who currently plays hardbat or pips out style I would be
especially interested in practicing with you. Feel free to email me at
j.russ.hamilton@... to set up a time.

Sincerely,

Russ
