BINGO AND GARAGE SALE

Monday Bingo has been running well under the new leadership of Anna Fake. Thank you to Anna and her Bingo team! The Garage Sale was a big success and netted $451 and a raffle was held through the month of March for a chance to win a wonderful basket filled with everything Italian!!! The drawing was held Monday March 25th and the winner of the Italian basket was Rita DeLuca. Congratulations! Proceeds from the garage sale and raffle basket have gone to help give bingo the financial boost it very much needed.

We want to thank ALL of the many members who graciously and generously donated items to sell at the Garage Sale. There are too many names to list that donated. We do want to thank those who worked that day either setting up, selling, or cleaning up at the end. It was a beautiful day, but very, very hot and all were very tired! Thank you to Susie Dyer, Gail Ellis, Gail Sullivan, Dolores Tabor, Meldra Vicario, Jerry Russell, Sal & Michele Bevacqua, Joyce Scafidi, Louise Stevenson, Terry Mellon and Bonnie Donaldson.
We sincerely apologize if anyone was not mentioned. If you have questions regarding bingo or are available to assist in any way please contact Anna at 321/775-0227 or at [email protected]. NOTE: “No Bingo May 27th.

MORE ON SCAMMERS!

Don’t believe everything you hear. Some folks act intentionally on their own, others in unison with other deliberate wrongdoers, and still others foolishly and unknowingly making themselves useful to such endeavors. The measure of evil is never zero. Always be aware!

Be careful if something:

  • comes out of the blue or from someone you don’t know
  • sounds out of the ordinary – like you’ve  won the lottery, or you’ve been invited to invest in an ‘amazing’ scheme and keep it a secret
  • asks you to pay for something in advance – especially by bank transfer • asks you for personal information – like your bank details, computer passwords or
    PIN numbers
  • pressures you into buying something or making a decision quickly – a trustworthy company will be happy to wait
  • asks you to phone an expensive number – these start with 070, 084, 087, 090, 091 or 098
