24 October 2022
I hope all had an enjoyable summer wherever you spent it, and above all, you and your family spent it safe and out of harm’s way. Welcome back to all previous members and to all new members, I hope you enjoy this great game of Bocce, like I believe you will, and the new friends you will meet, but never lose sight of our purpose and that is, we are all here to have a good time and meet new people.
We hope to see you all at our annual Wine and Cheese “Kick-Off” event on the 30th of October at Sisk Park at 1pm.
Over the summer a few of our Board Members were required to withdraw from their Bocce Board activities due to health and/or personal reasons. A special “Thank You” to our Bocce Club Secretary, Patty Hart; Tournament Director, Mike Buscaglia; Publicity Director, Larry Vacin and Equipment Manager, Harry Bicchieri for their outstanding service to the club and the members. Additionally, Dave Sinkbell, our previous Vice President stepped down and accepted the vacated Equipment Manager’s position. We also welcome back Sue Donovan to the Board of Directors. Sue has accepted the Tournament Director position, one that she had occupied in the past.
As a result, we need to fill these remaining positions on the Board for the 2022/2023 Season and beyond. We are looking for Volunteers from our membership and would hope that our members would step forward and join us. New Board members bring the innovative ideas that continue to make enhancements to our Club. We rely on members to volunteer and support our club so that we can continue this great tradition. Please consider how you might be able to contribute.
All positions are elected for two-year terms and may be re-elected to successive terms with the approval of the Board of Directors. The Board meets once per month, September thru April, on the 3rd Thursday from 8:30 AM – 10:00 AM in the Cottonwood Phoenix Room.
