Great Job Capos,
This has really been a great season with lots of new friends and teams. It will be hard to wait till next season, but Spring 2012 will be here before we know it. We encourage you to play with your teams and keep them active. The equipment will be locked for the winter as of October 1st, but SCBF has purchased practice balls for your convenience and you are welcome to give the combo to both the restroom and shed to whom you feel is responsible. Please guide them to put equipment away, know who they are giving the combo too (make sure it is a SCBF team player, it is OK to ask that important question!)
We will be sending out lots of emails this winter to keep you up to date on enrollment for 2012.
Please look for the white board to make your intentions for play next year at each game night this week.
Good luck this final week and good luck to all in the playoffs, this is going to be the best playoffs yet. We hope all will come on down and root on your favorite rival.

Sonoma County Bocce Federation
Week Three Already!
Team scores are bouncing all over, this is going to be interesting
all the way to the end…
Geri Goin and Lorraine Vannetti pulled off the perfect day.
Sunday’s Chicken BBQ was the most fun for all,
it just keeps getting better and better.
The amazing hard work of all the volunteers
(Yes! volunteers put this all on)
Thank You seems such a small compliment, but that is what we are all about, an organization working together.
Harvest Moon Rollers, Bocce on a Roll and Westside Rollers
were the primary volunteer groups. The rest of us just took orders….
..It was great!
The kids tournament was a great success and the smiles were as big they could be.
They were some great players, and we will do that again.
