Activities/Clubs News

Welcome summer. Bocce season has had a good start, perfect spring weather.
Traveling Bocce kicks off on Wednesday, May 17. Tom will be giving out schedules. We will meet at the clubhouse for away games and carpool.
Please call your team captain if your unable to play on Mondays and Tuesdays games.

The BBQ Committee will be serving Hot Dogs & Hamburgers every Saturday and Sunday beginning June 3. We are looking for many volunteers so that one only has to work occasionally over the course of the summer. Available jobs are grilling, setting up, cleaning up, taking orders, and collecting money. Please sign up and make connections with fellow HCB shareowners. Help us make these BBQs a success!

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 9-11AM at Clubhouse 1 on 631 Jamaica Blvd.  (New Time!!!) 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

We meet at the Silver Ridge Park East clubhouse library on the 1st and 3rd Thursday of every month, from 2:00 to 4:00 pm.
