“I think it’s always exciting that we’re constantly able to bring something different to Mardy’s Tennis & Jake’s Music Fest each year,” Mardy Fish said. “I know the women at the luncheon will really enjoy the fashion soirée by Blondies On Ocean. I’ve also been able to take a peek at some of the live and silent auction items and suspect there’ll be a lot of people hoping to outbid others for some really great things.”
