Friday, May 26th the 12th Annual Sloane Weldon Memorial Tennis Tournament was held at the tennis courts at Memorial Park in Weiser, Idaho. This year’s tournament was a success and the Weldon family thanks all who participated. Bernie Weldon stated, “It was a blast, and we were very fortunate again that the weather cooperated.”
This year the Weldon family decided the tournament needed a new name, Weldon shared, “The reason we put “SW Opportunity Tournament” on the visors was because we decided to rename the scholarship from “memorial” to “opportunity” to emphasize to the high school recipients how much of an opportunity life really is!”
The following is a list of this year’s scholarship recipients who received a $500 scholarship from the Sloane Weldon Opportunity Scholarship fund: Brady Reed, Brooklyn Jensen, Kasey Kautz, Macy Maloney, Shayla Kelly.
