TENNIS
• Social at Schofield: The Hawai'i Pacific Tennis Foundation will hold a Social Scrambles Doubles Tournament Saturday at Schofield Barracks, from noon to 4.
The foundation will provide awards, beverages and balls. Cost is $10 plus a pot luck dish. Because there is no draw, there is no need to sign up before the event.
The foundation is also looking for volunteers for its junior program that morning. The keiki/junior "scrambles" go from 10:30 a.m. to noon. Call the foundation (479-6727) for more information.
