Reflecting on Bingo's journey into the new year, Coordinator Joanna said she is happy with the progress of the program.  She cites attendance as well as the camaraderie, fellowship and overall attitude of the players as many seem to feel they have found a new Tuesday "home".  

Bottom line.....being part of the "Bingo Family" is fun!!

Join the Family.....join the Fun!!

Amid the "new year's sparkle" worn by many players that added to the celebratory mood, MaryAnn Winterround won the Free Admission Gift Certificate that she will enjoy using this Tuesday's Bingo on the 7th.....join her for many more chances to win!

Joanna and her Bingo "Elves" have been busy shopping for this week's big event....if you make one Tuesday Bingo all year, this is the one you don't want to miss!!......
