President’s MessageI
Cooler weather has finally arrived this month of October, 2025. Be prepared for the next season
of Winter and put your outdoor implements away till next Spring. Our Bocce championship
games on September 28 were quite interesting with four teams playing their hearts out. But only
one team came out as the best 0f 2025. The 1
st
place team consisted of Richard. Cruickshank
(Captain), John & Anna Petzker and Nick Chintala. Virginia Cruickshank was the alternate substitute
player. The dinner served afterward was also very good with plenty of appetizers, food, drinks and
dessert. Tony Ricci did a great job of cooking and his handling as this year’s
Bocce chairmanship was well appreciated. Thank you, Tony.
Remember that on October 4
th
we celebrate St. Francis of Assisi who is also the Patron Saint of Italy
