Seabrook Island is proud to host the Fleming Tournament. Besides being a prestigious tournament, it is great fun. We have interviewed a few people to give you the flavor of this weekend which you can view in the video link at the bottom of the page.
The first to wander by were Lisa Van Arnam and Pam Muncy, two fun-loving competitors. Then Steve Duffell who has a long history of involvement with the USTA tennis association said hello. Susan Meloy, Chairman of the Tournament, gave us an idea of the effort it takes to put on this Tournament. And finally, Warren Kimball, a Seabrook participant, but more importantly one who has been participating since the beginning, gave us the history of the Tournament.

The benefits to the Town of Seabrook Island were supported by an Estimated Economic Impact Study prepared by Charleston Area Sports Commission, part of the Charleston Visitors Bureau. Based on data from the 2014 tournament, the study concluded that last year the tournament generated $330,000 of commercial revenue, the majority of which was spent locally. This did not include a real estate sale to one of the competitors. The request to the Council was that the Town be a Presenter Sponsor, contributing $5,000. This would sponsor the welcoming cocktail party on Thursday and the dinner on Friday night. After discussion, the motion was approved by unanimous vote of the Council. In consideration for the sponsorship, the Fleming Committee would list the Town on the Sponsor banner at the Racquet Club for a full year. During the Tournament, three Town banners will be prominently displayed. In addition, the Town’s sponsorship will be referenced in all of the Tournament’s printed material. Council members were invited to the cocktail party and the dinner. Submitted by Sally Kimball, Tidelines Writer
