The Red Ball Is Closer! – No The Green Ball Is Closer! – How do I respond to that argument?  Who cares!!!
Casual Bocce is back for it’s incredible FIFTH season!!!
Casual Bocce is the same game that you already know and love; bocce without the set teams or measuring the balls.  Or maybe you don’t know the game and want to give it a try?
Casual Bocce is currently in progress.  Games are on THURSDAY from 1-3P.M. at Clubhouse 1 on 631 Jamaica Blvd.  While there is always room for everyone to play, it is encouraged to call ahead to make sure there is a game going or that there is room.
We are NOT associated with the Official Bocce League which will run concurrently earlier in the week.  For the Official Bocce League information, please see their post right here in the newsletter
For any questions or information, call Steve Abramson at 609-661-0794.

I would like to take this opportunity to extend my thanks to the following:
Emilio Granata Bingo President, Debbie Caputo, Treasurer and all Bingo volunteers for donating funds used to purchase shirts for travel bocce players. 
In addition, Barbara Udow and Annette Porpora for donating their time traveling to Freehold to select styles & colors for our new team shirts.

Thank you to the members of the Recreation Committee and the HCB Community for all the support you have given! We will continue to work hard to bring even more events and activities to our HCB Community.  Unfortunately, in order to do so, we are often adding things AFTER the Community Voice has gone to print.  So, how can you keep up with your Recreation Committee?

• The HCB Official Webpage: https://www.holidaycityatberkeley.com
• The Holiday City Berkeley Recreation Committee Facebook Group page
• The Recreation Committee Bulletin Board outside the Card/Game Room in CH1

Our scheduled May activities include Book Club on May 9, Cooking Club on May 6th & 20th, Coffee & Craft Night on May 16, and Laughter Yoga on Thursday May 23rd.  We will continue to delight the residents by hosting Coffee & a Sweet Treat at the Shareowners Meeting on May 1st. These are just a few additions to a calendar already packed with great events and activities hosted by the fantastic committees and clubs of our great community!  If I don’t get to meet you at one of the Recreation Committee events, I do hope to get to meet you at many of these other events!

Please consider joining the Recreation Committee so we can present our community with even more activities and events!  Our May meeting will be held on Monday, May 13, Clubhouse 2 at 5:00 and quickly followed by a Coffee & Board Game Night at 6:00 pm! We will pull out our board game collection and hopefully, we will even get a game of Left Right Center going!

We plan to help fill your June calendar! Along with the support of the Go-Getters, we will be hosting our First Ever Corn Hole Tournament in June!  Also in June, we will be announcing and selling tickets for our first ever Chopped Champion Cooking Demonstration and tasting with Executive Chef Sean Quinn!  

Keep an eye out for announcements of future activities including additional Coffee Houses, Concerts, a Classic Car Cruise with the Sentimental Cruisers, Linda Shields the Jersey Shore Medium, and MUCH MUCH MORE!  Thank you for your support so far this year!  

Welcome spring! Bocce is starting the first Monday and Tuesday of the month. Teams will be set up after our March meeting. Please come 20 minutes prior to the 4 PM start. Check the schedule for which lane you will be playing on. Also check that we have the correct phone number on the list. We also need each team to choose a team captain. The captain will be in charge of signing the game results. They also need to let the coordinator know if their team needs a replacement player. Let's play bocce!
