The Velamints Pro Tennis Classic, a women's pro tennis tournament to be held in Cleveland this summer, features a prize money purse of $10,000 and will include internationally-ranked players from around the world. A special feature of the event will be a pro-amateur competition on Sunday. June 27, 1982. All the ticket sale proceeds from the event, which will include a wine and cheese party following play, will benefit WomenSpace. People are needed prior to the tournament to help pull together all organizational details, take tickets, and make sure things run smoothly. The tournament committee also hopes to be able to house as many players as possible at people's homes, rather than a hotel. For further information, to order tickets, or to offer your home or volunteer, please call the tournament office, 381-1348.
