Monthly Serata Committee
One of our busiest committees! Members book the venue for our monthly dinners, plan the menu, schedule speakers, track reservations, collect payment at the door, and run the 50/50 raffle.
Bocce League
ADLI has both men’s and women’s leagues, and players of every level are welcome to enjoy this sport dating back to the Roman Empire. You can also help with scheduling, court upkeep, or the end-of-season banquet.
Special Events Dinner CommitteeÂ
( Festa di Natale and Pasquetta)
