CALTA Junior Recognition Program
As stated in the CALTA Charter, CALTA's mission (article IV)
includes: "to identify junior women's tennis needs in the Charleston Area
and to
apply CALTA's available resources in support of them."
At the
annual captains' meeting on March 26, 2001,
the captains approved the
establishment of a community service program
that would provide funds
for promising junior women.
To date the program has disbursed $162,000.
