Bocce Volo

Villages column written by Betty Hall
 The return of the Saturday Bocco Volo tournament finished July 5th. There were 8 team of 8 players and all the games were played on Saturdays. This tournament was first played in 2019 and after a covid interruption, it was time to start it up again. Being on Saturdays,  it was hoped that it would give our bocce players who still were working a chance to play in a tournament the wasn’t just Monday thru Thursday. I guess 64 players proved that to be true.
     On the final day there were playoff games followed by an amazing potluck. The bocce social coordinator, Barb Orlando, assisted by the membership chair,  Jeanne-Anne Whitacre, coordinated the potluck to make sure it wasn’t just chips and salsa.
     The winning team, The Fixers,  are pictured below. Left to right: Tony Orlando, Captain Todd Horvatich, Karen Peters, Gale Murai, Debra Spencer and Colleen McIntyre.
