Tea(l)Bagging Party - You're invited!

Tea(l)Bagging
The 2009 DC Bocce Spring season may have been postponed by a 15-minute thunderstorm that sent the District of Columbia into a whirlwind of uncontrollable fear and panic, but that didn't stop our team, Change You Can Bocce, from showing up to Garfield Park last Tuesday night for our opening match. Of course, you wouldn't know that because we were the only team that showed up!

While we were disappointed that our match was cancelled, we were thrilled to pick up our swanky teal team t-shirts. That's right: TEAL. Become familiar. It is the color of inevitability. The color of your doom.

DC Bocce League: mark your calendars for June 13, the DC Bocce Spring Championship. There will be a Tea(l)bagging party, and everyone is invited.

Peroni Wants to Help Your Team Get Tan

For those of you that weren’t at last week’s captain’s meetings, we have some good news we’d like to share about a little contest, sponsored by Peroni, that the League has devised. Basically, the team that drinks the most Peroni pitchers this season wins a beach getaway to Ocean City, Maryland, the weekend of July 17th! Every time your team orders a pitcher of Peroni, you'll get 1 ticket to fill out with your team name that will get tossed into a pot behind the bar. At the end of the season, we’ll tally up the tickets, and whichever team has the most tickets wins the trip! The Grand Prize includes:

• 2-night, 2-room stay in Ocean City, MD
• Special sponsor gifts for the trip
• $100 gift certificate to Seacrets

PLUS, after week 4 we’ll pick a ticket at random out of the Peroni pot for a chance to win a special mid-season prize. And you don’t have to play just on bocce nights – you can accumulate tickets for your team any day of the week when you order Peroni drafts at your sponsor bar. We'll also be picking out names every other week and giving away Nationals tickets with Miller BeerPen access and free beer and food tickets for the game!

Good hunting!

Here is the official list of team names for the Spring 2009 Season.
