Grab Your Balls - It's Bocce Time! April 1, 2016

WHY BOCCE IS BETTER THAN SEX 

The equipment is always hard.

It lasts over an hour.

You can score 12 times.

Your team cheers when you score.

You can count on it at least twice a week.

You can tell everyone about it afterwards.

Debbie was our hostess for our very first bocce event on Friday, April 1, 2016. As we noshed on delicious chicken croissant sandwiches and strawberries among other goodies, we sipped wine and listed carefully to the Bocce Rules. Ten ladies were able to join for the fun!

We formed four teams of 2 players for the first elimination round and then to the competition play off! 

Our team names should have been:

1. Mission Imbocceball
2. La Bocce Vita
3. Fuhgetabocce!
4. Deboccery

LtoR - Ruth and Carole
