Note from EPHPA President Tom Reuther:
   Due to state wide restrictions and national guidelines, I feel it necessary to cancel the events scheduled for April 30. Tentative date for the General EPHPA Membership meeting in
   Carlisle will be Sunday, June 7. Meeting starts at 10:00 am, followed by the doubles tournament at noon.
    Considering all the unknowns surrounding the current pandemic, I feel it would be prudent for all tournament directors to monitor the availability of their respective courts, especially
   those tournaments scheduled in May. I have recently checked on the courts in Selinsgrove and found that the Park is currently closed with no date established for opening.

3/21/2020:
The St. Patrick Day tournament (3/14/2020) at Selinsgrove was cancelled
The indoor courts are at a state-owned facility in Selinsgrove, and due to Coronavirus concerns, all activities were suspended.
Sorry for the inconvenience if you were not contacted; the Tournament Director did not find out until late evening on 3/13/2020
Thank you to Robert Taylor, Kentucky Horseshoe Historian
Robert found a newspaper article describing the 1930 PA State Tournament.
We were able to add E.R. Fazenbaker from Northern Fayette County as the 1930 Men's Champion in our State records.
