BOCCE BALL<br />
Bocce<br />
By:Jim Vannucchi<br />
I am pleased to report that<br />
the 2 nd Annual SFFF <strong>Local</strong><br />
<strong>798</strong> Bocce Ball Tournament<br />
that was held on<br />
October 09, <strong>2009</strong> was an<br />
extraordinary success and<br />
blueprints for the 3rd Annual<br />
are underway. Over<br />
250 active and retired<br />
members from every<br />
plane of the <strong>Local</strong> met for<br />
a day of sport, food and<br />
comraderie with a common<br />
goal; to support the<br />
SFFF <strong>Local</strong> <strong>798</strong> Cancer<br />
Prevention Foundation.<br />
However, much like an<br />
evil tide that washes<br />
away everything good<br />
in its’ path, an amoral<br />
individual who has taken<br />
much more than they ever<br />
gave and who’s focus is<br />
one of self-gratification<br />
and control has chosen to<br />
vilify this grand event; an<br />
event whose sole purpose<br />
is to provide for those who<br />
are in desperate need.<br />
To the brothers and sisters<br />
who supported Bocce<br />
with their generosity, but<br />
more importantly to our<br />
afflicted members who<br />
have enjoyed some relief<br />
from their daily battle due<br />
to the resources of the<br />
SFFF <strong>Local</strong> <strong>798</strong> Cancer<br />
Prevention Foundation, I<br />
am truly, truly sorry that<br />
the misguided actions of<br />
one dishonorable individual<br />
has harmed us all.<br />
In closing, I have but one<br />
question to this individual;<br />
how do you sleep at<br />
night?<br />
