It was Sunday May 13, another gloriously, sunny day in SaddleBrooke with temperatures around 85 degrees Fahrenheit with a nice breeze. Eighteen members of the British Club gathered at the Bocce Ball Courts in SaddleBrooke One for the fun of playing Bocce Ball. Following the games, everyone headed to the home of Bob Zimdar and Twink Gates for a potluck picnic where they feasted on a selection of salads, coleslaw, potato and bacon salad, egg and potato salad, quiche, seven-layer dip with chips, meat and cheese lasagna, pulled pork, scalloped potatoes and shrimp with cocktail sauce. Accompanying the BYOB, a refreshing fruit punch was served with Malibu Coconut rum if desired. With coffee, the players enjoyed a delicious array of desserts—tiramisu, brownies, Belgian chocolate cookies, fresh fruit salad and strawberries. At the end of the evening, the Bocce Ball winners, losers and all in attendance, were awarded fun prizes of Hershey’s chocolate bars for their endeavors to make this event so successful!
Everyone agreed it was a fun way to spend an afternoon and evening and thanked Twink and Bob for organizing this fun event for the British Club.
