On the weekend of October 19th & 20th, Club Molisani hosted its 2nd Annual Fall Bocce Classic. Teams from Cleveland, Ashtabula, Michigan and Canada came to eat, drink and most importantly play bocce. Congratulation goes out to the winning team Palazzo 777, from Lake Orion, Michigan and Toronto, Canada. The team consisted of Pat Pezzin, Pat Concordia, Jose Botto, and Natale Scala. The runner-up was our own Vandra #1, which consisted of Pete Melaragno, Bruno Iannetta, Renato Patete, and Mike Lapcevich. The Club would like to thank club member Frank Catanese & Joe Catanese for preparing food Friday evening and Saturday. We would also like to thank Adelio & Anna DiFranco for preparing the steak dinner Saturday evening. They were delicious! Last but not least we would like to thank Sergio DiFranco, President of Club Molisani, and Michael Frabotta, Club Secretary, for organizing the tournament. Also, it goes without saying, no event could go on without the hard work from our Women's Auxiliary members! Thank You!
