Hello Table Tennis Enthusiasts,

What an amazing start for LATTA & I in 2020!  Increased in various activities: memberships, private lesson students, Saturday 10am round robins, & 1 day visitor passes.  I have already placed an order to purchase 2 brand new Butterfly Europa tables.  Butterfly will ship as soon as they have the tables in stock.  We are continuing the BEAST MODE energy & effect at LATTA!  I’ve been in table tennis for 32 yrs and will continue to serve the table tennis community.  Again, thank you so much for all your support!

1st big picture:  Recipients of complimentary Butterfly Tenergy rubbers for the longest & most consecutive tournament participant streak!  1) Misa Duran–from Jan 2018 to Dec. 2019, total of 22 tournaments!!! OMG 🙂 2) Dylan Ley–Dec. 2018 to Dec. 2019, total of 10 tournaments! I awarded Dylan too because he’s a super nice guy.  Didn’t want him to go Tenergy-less 🙂
