BETHESDA, MD—Tomorrow, Thursday, May 1, the Montgomery County Department of Parks will dedicate the newly renamed Pauline Betz Addie Tennis Center at Cabin John Regional Park. The event will feature guest of honor Pauline Betz Addie and special guest Billie Jean King.
The program of events includes tennis games, such as “Beat the Pro” and “Clock Your Serve,” refreshments, remarks and immediately following the ceremony, time permitting, chances to meet Pauline Betz Addie and Billie Jean King.
Door prizes to be given away by random draw include a vintage “JOKARI” paddle from the 1940s endorsed and autographed by Pauline Betz, a Wilson Carbon “Nano” tennis racquet autographed by Billie Jean King and four reserved, chair-back seats at the Washington Kastles match of the winner’s choosing.
To further mark the renaming of the Cabin John Indoor Tennis facility, the Department of Parks has changed the park signs in front of the facility and on Democracy Boulevard, installed a new logo on the exterior of the building, added a new front door canopy and installed a 22-foot timeline of Addie’s accomplishments for display inside the tennis center.
