Thank you to all the sister parks that participated in the Bean Bag Baseball tournament yesterday, and thank you to Donna Luther and Millie Reeves for being our scorekeepers. Everyone had a great time! We ended up with 4 teams of seven, with the 4th team being a mix of all three resorts. They aptly named themselves, “The Misfits” and were the winners of the tournament!
Currently, there are 4 teams of 5 signed up for the Bean Bag Baseball tournament today from 3-5pm @ the ballroom–2 from Country Sunshine, 1 from Leisure World and 1 from Victoria Palms. Depending on how many actually show up, it may be necessary to mix up the fourth team with participants from all three resorts. We will sort that out at the beginning of the event. All four teams will play a round, and the winners from that round will play each other for the tournament win! 😀
These are the supplies that will be used to host the Paint N’ Sip 5/19 2-4pm @ the Craft Center, Cactus Room $25. If you’re interested in participating, sign up at the Activity Office.
