BOCCE TOURNAMENT:
Committee: Erica, Amy, John Rossi, Tim, Cathy
(Flyer attached) Our 10th Annual Bocce Tournament is Saturday March 22.
We are looking to expand our lane sponsors this year. Repeat sponsors cost: $275, new sponsor cost: $300. Sponsors will have banners with their logo's inside the court and can also bring promotional material to the event to be displayed on the sponsor table. Please reach out to contacts or share this need on your social medias to get the word out. At the moment, we have 9 commitments and can take on a total of 16.
After looking through last years expense cost, we have decided to increase the per player cost. The flyer has been update to reflect.
Music Bingo with "Get Down Tonight" has been solidified for a little extra fun for the spectators (and to hopefully attract more spectators!)
We are also be looking for raffle basket donations. Please have your basket # intentions to the committee by March 10.
This year, all teams and tickets must be prepurchased. We will not be accepting payments at the door. Deadline is March 18.
Please share the new flyer with friends, family and on your social media pages, chat with potential lane sponsors, and start building your teams! We are looking forward to another successful year! Main event contact is Amy, reach out if you need info on music bingo and lane sponsorship
