Looking for people to hit with in MD

Hey, just wanted to see if anyone would be interested in playing some tennis in the Baltimore/Owings Mills area. I guess I would say I'm somewhere in between beginner and intermediate. I haven't played seriously in awhile, but I'd really like to get back into it on a regular basis. If you're interested, let me know!
