Cathy was our hostess for our extreme bocce ball event on Friday, May 5, 2017. Extremely hot that is! Just our luck the temperature zoomed upwards in the high 90's for our playing pleasure! We started our day early to beat the heat and Cathy brought Mimosas and treats for our brunch. There were 9 stalwart bocce ladies for the day.
