The Everett Kiwanis is happy to announce its first annual Bocce Tournament to sustain its scholarship fund for Everett High School students. Each year we try to give $10,000 for up to 10 deserving Everett High scholars who plan to continue his or her education. Unfortunately, some years we have been unable to sustain this amount.

So, let’s mix some business with pleasure and build this fund permanently. On Saturday, June 9, the Kiwanis will hold a Kiwanis Bocce Tournament at the Italian-American Club at 121 Pearl St., Malden, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Twelve, four-member teams will compete for a first place prize of $750, and a second place prize of $250. There will be a barbecue, raffles, and auctions throughout the day for both players and non-players to enjoy. All proceeds will go to scholarships for our future Everett leaders.
