Alameda TTC medals in every event entered at the 25th Annual Taiwanese Chinese American Athletic tournament in Pleasanton

Alameda Won the Junior Team event, Adult team event, 18 and under, 12 and under, Open Doubles and Coach Avi took second in the Open. Well Done!

Effective February 1 ATTC will implement its “Ping-Pong Stimulus program”. Key components of the program include. “One Dollar Wednesdays” and “five dollar family Sundays”. Additionally the Alameda TTC Yahoo group contains a coupon for 50% off February monthly membership.

Dave H. AlphaPong owner and Alameda TTC partner explained how the program will work. “When Bob comes in on a Wednesday and pays $1 instead of five, that saves $4 that he can then spend into the local economy. So now instead of Bob packing a Bologna sandwich for lunch, he can now visit the Falafel Hut and purchase a falafel roll. Now with the increase in business Mustafa the owner of the Falafel Hut can now expand and hire more local workers who also spend into the economy. Soon Mustafa will be able to expand nation wide and put hundreds of people to work making delicious falafel. We can expect that very soon we will see the economy rebound and a big drop in the unemployment rate. Also since we know that “as California goes, so goes the nation” we can soon expect a tremendous increase in the popularity of Table Tennis nation wide. Since table tennis is a very healthy and enjoyable sport, this could well be just what is needed to save our failing health care system and keep thousands off antidepressants.”

When asked for his comments on the new Ping-Pong stimulus program ATTC partner Avishy Schmidt responded, “I like falafel”.

ATTC Dominiant at San Jose Year of Ox Tournament.

(Barney Reed and Kenny Wong - U3800 Team event winners)

Recently bright lights have been seen suspended in the skies above the ATTC facility. So far the lights have been witnessed by over 100 people.

Many theories have been put forward. Mass hallucination? UFOs? Angelic beings? Extra terrestrials?

Others have pointed out that they are just the result of the recent lighting upgrade. 6 fixtures were upgraded and as a result the ATTC gym now has bright and even lighting throughout the gym.

We suggest you come and decide for yourself.
