International House

 Shirley and I made the drive over to Charlotte yesterday to introduce petanque to a great group of young people who work at International House located at 1611 E 7th Street.

Mica Gadhia and Stephane Brico recently joined Carolina Petanque after playing with us a couple of times at our Nevin Park venue. They then suggested to Shirley that we might be interested in introducing their coworkers to our game as a team-building event, and we, of course, jumped at the chance.

What a wonderful group they turned out to be!

Be sure to check out their website (link above) to get some understanding of the organization's mission and structure.

Thanks to all the people who participated. Huge thanks to Mourhite and Denyse for assisting us in the instruction. 

In addition to Mika and Stephane, a special thanks to Autumn Weil, Executive Director of the Charlotte location.

 By the way, Mika indicated that she would be interested in playing there in Independence Park, walking distance from her workplace, some days after her normal working hours. You can contact Mica at micasart@yahoo.com if you're interested.

Indoor season winding down

 

Looks like Gail was still recovering from weekend!

We've really enjoyed playing indoor petanque at Hanes Hosiery Community Center for the past few months.

There is only one more session currently scheduled for the near future. Come join us on Tuesday, April 30, at 1:00 PM if you can.
