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.

Our next meeting is April 8th at 12:00 PM Club House One. At 11:30 AM coffee and donuts will be served prior to the meeting. Having taken our first trip of the year to Atlantic City Resorts, we are looking forward to future trips. Our next scheduled event on May 16th, will be our Picnic at Wells Mills County Park in Waretown. The park features over 20 miles of hiking for all to enjoy, a beautiful lake with canoe rentals, picnic area, fishing, or a chance to just sit on the Dam where you will probably see turtles (so bring your beach chair). Fishing poles will be provided if you'd like to try and catch the "big one", along with basic instructions on fishing. However, it's a picnic, hot dogs and hamburgers will be provided, but rather than charging a fee, bring a Potluck dish to share. This is a social event for members only. Future upcoming events planned include a Blue Claws game, picnic dinner and fireworks on June 20th, a luncheon tour on the River Lady of Toms River on September 11th. Tickets for the game and the River Lady are available on the first and third Tuesday of the month between noon and 1:00 PM in Clubhouse ONE. Important: You do not have to fish to be a member of our Club! However, if you are a fisherperson in May we will announce our upcoming fishing schedule.
