Dear Bocce Family,

Who would have guessed our bocce courts, in just two years, would be the wonderful home to 668 Palisadians, including 375 senior citizens.

As we all know, teams and true friendships have blossomed in so many beautiful ways — which go so beyond the game of bocce.

Palisades Bocce Family Challenge

I’d love to propose a challenge to all bocce teams in the leagues.

I propose that teams consider making a ‘team donation’ — which will be honored under the team (and its players’ names).

In the chart to the right, I would propose the following levels of donation for your team to consider.

Donations could be made at one time, or (for some of the donation levels) spread out over the next three years.  Any way that is comfortable for you.

If you are interested in donating outside of your team’s donation, please give a call (at 310.529.1400).

The more we are able to raise will assure us that Veterans Gardens, with its beautiful landscaping, picnic areas and ‘gardens in the park,’ its bocce courts, and all its programming — will always be a town project, held to the highest standards of integrity, beauty, and programming.

With substantial funding, we have several initiatives to significantly improve and expand Veterans Gardens and our town’s park — creating even more belonging and a sense of community.

This celebrates community. Belonging. Family. Celebrates the contribution of veterans in our lives. Celebrates the virtues and values we hold so dear in our town and in our lives.

We are  creating something we can all be very proud of – for generations to come.

.

Yours,
Jimmy Dunne

The Trees of the Palisades

The gifting levels are designated by one of the beloved treasures of Pacific Palisades; its trees.

Here’s a little bit about the trees…

Eucalyptus
The stunning trees blanketing the bocce courts at Veterans Garden and at Will Rogers Park.

Live Oak
At Founders Island on Haverford and throughout Temescal Canyon — where our founding fathers first met to create their new town.

Purple Orchid
The beautiful flowered trees that line the outside of Veterans Gardens.  (In the future, with donations, they may extend all the way down to Alma Real!) 

Jacaranda
The lovely blue-flowering tree along Radcliffe and throughout the Palisades 

Camphor
Majestic trees all along Toyopa Drive (the wood of these trees was used for our bocce trophies created by Dennis Richardson and John Beaver).

For any questions or thoughts:
