Bocce news

February: On Wednesday, February 27, 2019, PC Bocce Ball had their 20th Anniversary celebration. Over 300 members and guests enjoyed a memorable and nostalgic celebration of 20 years of PC Bocce. President Cheryl Kasselmann presented plaques of gratitude to past Bocce Presidents, Joe Naworski, Tom Bailey and Ken Zitek, for their many years of service. Cheryl also presented posthumously to Chuck McErlean, in honor of his sister Mollie McErlean, a plaque for her devotion and dedication to the game of Bocce and all of its members. Now let’s look forward to the next 20 years.

On Wednesday, February 13 the PC Wednesday Bocce Teams had an exciting visit from FOX-10 reporter Ty Brennan who taped a segment for his Sunday morning show TY-Pads. The segment was shown on Sunday, March 3 and we all looked great. Hope everyone remembered to tape it.

March: On March 18, 19 and 20, PC Bocce teams will host a Charity Tournament and have invited other Adult Communities to participate. This years’ charity is “A Soldiers Best Friend.” They provide returning soldiers who have combat-related PTSD/TBI with a therapeutic companion dog. Donations will be accepted for this worthy organization. Soldiers will be here during the tournament to demonstrate the bond between them and these remarkable service animals. The opening ceremonies will take place on Monday, March 18, at the Eagle’s Nest bocce courts. Luke Air Force Base will present colors, Mayor Georgia Lord, a former PC bocce player, will lead us in the Pledge of Allegiance and Bocce Pres. Cheryl Kasselmann will lead us in singing the National Anthem. The remaining days Colors will be presented by the VFW Post 6310. All of PebbleCreek is invited to come to any or all three of the days to support your PC teams and this worthwhile charity, “Soldiers Best Friend.” Donations will be greatly appreciated.
