Bocce Ball Tournament + Charity + PRIZES = Awesometown
Sarah Roorda
So, there was a brief period that Kristen Ball and I participated in a bocce league. Dorky, right? No. INTENSE. We eventually quit because people were taking bocce --a sport meant for men in argyle sweaters and knee socks-- way, way too seriously.
That said, there's a tournament happening at Union Hall that sounds like both an amazing time AND an opportunity to help our local community. So, I propose that a bunch of us form teams, sign up, and join in the trash talking. All the relevant info is below.
Look forward to seeing you there!
