The awards potluck was a huge success! Members enjoyed fried chicken, furnished by the club, along with a wide variety of salads and desserts brought by our members. It is sad to have the session end and wait until the end of October to start again, because we thoroughly enjoy the camaraderie with all the players!
We also enjoyed the annual Fun with Friends Tournament on March 27. This year it was men versus women, and there was a lot of bantering between the sexes. In the end, the men won and the ladies would like to see another challenge next year!
Sun Lakes Bocce Club also hosted the Senior Games Bocce Ball match, which was held on April 3 at Sisk Park. Thirty-two competitive players joined in on the fun, and Jeff Blankenship took first place.
