Bocce has been around for many years now, and some continue to be a steady xture representing their team or perhaps a new team with new players, but helped to make bocce a fun and expected sport year aer year here at Four Seasons. How does bocce survive those challenges to be popular, and a club people enjoy signing up to play each year? e answer is simple: we have many players who volunteer to be captain of a team, sub for players, help with the bocce BBQ, help setup each week, help collect the activity fee to help support the teams at the banquet, help referee the games when needed, have fun and play according to the Four Seasons rules, and most importantly, serve as the ocial bocce scheduler. Without a bocce schedule, the players would not know what team to play, or what court they are to play on, or who throws the rst ball out on the court, or who plays in the Championship game, and what score do I have compared to the other teams. at is simply answered by saying the name Orville Ellingworth, he does all of that. For many years now, Orville has been the one who would sit down aer the bocce sign-ups and gure out how many teams we have for each season, how many weeks are needed to fairly decide which team is rst with the most wins, and which teams get to play in the championship game. He also prints out all the score sheets, keeps a master list of players and their email addresses to contact those teams, updates of the scores of each team weekly, creates the playing schedule so teams know if they play or they have a bye for a selected week. So, the bocce club, and all the members would like to say, thank you Orville, for all you do for bocce, and for being the bocce scheduler because without you, we would not have the Four Seasons bocce teams and the many players who participate each year. May the Polino be with you. Sorry, got that confused with the word Force. All the players hope to see Orville next year as the Ocial Bocce Scheduler.
