Sons Of Italy in America
**BOCCE** is a big event at Geneva Lodge 2397.  This traditional Italian game is played on our indoor court from September to April every Tuesday evening. The league consists of 10 teams, each team with four players. It is  good competitive play and a great way for members to socialize. All players share in the year end prize money and get two free dinners during the season.
During the spring and summer members and guests can also use the outdoor bocce courts adjacent to the new pavilion. Each summer the lodge hosts the Ralph Gillotte Memorial Bocce Tournament. This event is open to the public. Festival Tournament and a KofC Tournament as well as a Summer League
Come on down and check us out!
**BINGO** is the major fundraiser for the lodge. Weekly bingo draws many members of the community out to the lodge every Sunday night at 2:00pm to play for big cash prizes!!  Members volunteer as bingo callers, floor workers, bell jar ticket sellers, and concession workers. One-third of the net profit goes to local, state, and national charities.  Both the workers and the players have alot of fun and at the same time are helping to fund many worthy causes.
The lodge Bingo Committee meets twice yearly to disburse charitable funds.
**CARDS**   -  If playing cards is how you like to have fun then the Geneva lodge is the place to go. During the day you can almost always find a lively game of pinochle or rummy going on among our retirees. Also, during the spring, summer and fall, the Geneva Italian American Ladies lodge conducts a weekly afternoon card party and luncheon for a nominal fee.
During the winter months there are up to three different nightly euchre leagues up and running which all culminate with a year end dinner and prize money for all participants.
Attention everyone!!
