In Memoriam: Paul Agosta
The DC Bocce Leage would like to take this time to remember our dear friend Paul Agosta, who passed away this past July due to complications related to cancer. Paul was among the original members that joined the DC Bocce League for its inaugural season, and he and his team, iBocce, placed second overall during Summer 2005. Paul was a wonderful, enthusiastic person who loved to play bocce and he routinely praised the League for its dedication to the sport. In his memory, the DC Bocce League is donating $250 to his favorite charity, the Wounded Warrior Project. If you wish to also make a donation in his name please visit their website. To Paul's friends and family, our hearts and thoughts are with you.
