| Thanks to all the teams that played in the Pat O’Brien Chevrolet Cleveland Challenge Cup of Bocce Tournament |

On behalf of all the members of the Wickliffe Italian-American Club we want to thank all the teams and players that came to compete in this years Pat O’ Brien Chevrolet Cleveland Challenge Cup of Bocce Tournament.
We hope all of you had a great time, and were impressed with our covered courts and new restroom facilities.
All the members of the Wickliffe Italian-American Club appreciated the many favorable comments on how the tournament was run, our great bocce facility, the entertainment we provided, the food vendors, the parking, the shuttle bus service, and the condition of our bocce courts. We all worked very hard to make your weekend with us a memorable one.
After much conversation with many teams, and the tournament committee the decision was made to continue holding the Pat O’Brien Chevrolet Cleveland Challenge Cup of Bocce Tournament on the same weekend as we’ve had it for the last 17 years. Next years tournament will be held on Friday August 22, Saturday August 23, and Sunday August 24, 2008
Thanks again to all of you who made this years tournament a huge success, and we look forward in seeing all of you here again next year.

Born to Play Bocce

You might say bocce is in Albert Scerra's blood.
Scerra has been playing the sport for 30 years and is proud to hail from Rome, N.Y. - home of the World Series of Bocce.
"All my relatives play," said Scerra, with his ever-present cigar in hand. "I grew up with it. Every Sunday, we used to have a picnic and play. I had a big family - 10 brothers and sisters. Now I play with my son, who is 27. But tournaments - that's what it's all about."

One doesn't have to understand all the intricacies and terminology of bocce
to be a fan of the sport.
That was clearly evident at the Pat O'Brien Chevrolet Cleveland Challenge
Cup of Bocce, a three-day event, which culminated Sunday at the Wickliffe
Italian-American Club on Euclid Avenue.
"We enjoy playing, but it's also fun being with friends and seeing people
you haven't seen for a while," said Warren Fabian, 70, of Willoughby Hills. "It's like old home week."

“It’s like a park in the city,” says Gino Latessa, longtime President of the Wickliffe Italian-American Club. The building is surrounded by tall trees, lush green grass and careful landscaping. However, parks aren’t built overnight, and neither was the club. The facility that stands today is the direct result of the vision, heart, sweat and, most likely, tears of its members. We won’t dwell on the tears, though, since “real men don’t cry.” Especially not real Italian men.

The offers Rick Continenza and Klaudio Sugar heard from both their customers and competitors weren’t exactly expected.
That they received such offers, however, speaks volumes about the partners and their business, Town Center Automotive.
Continenza and Sugar took possession last July of a vacant building, the former J.D. Byrider location at 29824 Euclid Ave. in Wickliffe. When they did, the immediate task was a substantial renovation.
