Tara boasts bocce bash

Lynn Dallesandro rolls her bocce ball.

Sue Laker tests her aim.

Joyce Leone, Gina Adjan and Maureen Rudy play together. It was Rudy's first time. "I love it," she says.

Bocce organizer Pete Donatucci makes the sport look easy. "We're trying to get people involved in activities other than golf," he says. "We have a good time."

Marty and Hope Ettinger, Ed Wolff and Anita and Gene Rubin, all Tara residents, are from Philadelphia.

Ralph and Janice Hollmeyer sit for the bocce bash with Adie and Ira Abelson.

Shirley Patrone, Rose Tucciarone and Barbara Raper are regular bocce players.

Mary McLaughlin, Mary and Dennis Crowley and Malcolm Laker find a corner patio table.

Patti and Charlie Viani join Fred Kurst for food after playing.

Bocce Bash chairman Ralph Hollmeyer and bocce organizer Pete Donatucci think the day was a success.
