The Rowley Parks & Recreation Committee invites all adults and kids aged 16-plus to join in on pickup volleyball games for the months of December through March. Coordinated by Kara McGormack, the games will be held Tuesday evenings from 7 to 9 p.m. in the all-purpose room at the Pine Grove School. Dates of games are Dec. 8 and 22; Jan. 5, 12 and 19; Feb. 9; March 2, 9, 16, and 30; and April 6 and 13.
All are welcome to attend and join in on some in-town fun — there is no cost, and no volleyball experience is necessary. If you have any questions, contact McGormack at selectmen@townofrowley.org.
Registration is not required for these games, but a call to McCormack before Dec. 8 to state interest in the program would be greatly appreciated. Call the town hall at 978-948-2372).
