Events in December 2025
December 14 - Bocce
BocceBocce
December 14Open invitation for anyone to join the "team" which is more like a club or social gathering. Folks stop by whenever they can and there’s no commitment or, for that matter, no real teams. The game is simple and requires no experience or physical strength. The bocce group is fair-weather driven, so rain or cold (below 55) temperatures dissuade even our most driven players.
