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?

Games are currently played from 9-11AM on Saturday mornings at Clubhouse 1 on the Bocce Courts.  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.  The season is anticipated to progress up until Thanksgiving.

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.

The Red Ball Is Closer! – No The Green Ball Is Closer! – How do I respond to that argument?  Who cares!!!

RED THREE!!! – SEVEN KRAK!!! – If either or both of those phrases mean anything to you then you’ve in the right place.
What IS the Friendship Club?  
The Friendship Club is a group of men and women who meet on Mondays and Fridays from 12:30PM-4:00PM in the Poker Room in Clubhouse 1.
We are a group of about 15 people that love to play Canasta (Hand-And-Foot) and Mah-Jongg.  
We always have coffee and snacks around 2PM in the kitchen (Members all take turns bringing snacks)
Conversation and laughs are always had; and the occasional get together is had outside the clubhouse.  We also celebrate birthdays on a monthly basis.
If you’d like to join a friendly group of adults and can play either Canasta or Mah-Jongg (OR you’d like to learn), please don’t hesitate to come on down on those days and say “hi!”
