Last year’s season brought some exciting changes to the playoff format and schedule.  As we plan for the 2012 season, we are seeking your input through a very brief (3 questions) survey.

If you played last year, but didn’t receive an email with a link to the survey, please email us.

If you have additional comments for the Board, please feel free to send your thoughts through the same form.

Please watch for an announcement–coming soon–about this year’s Annual Meeting (and 2012 Bocce League registration) in March.

 

Thank you very much!

Before we started, the courts were in better shape than last year.
