Congratulations to the unbelievable Bingo team! This group of dedicated volunteers spent nine months gathering prizes and soliciting sponsorships for a bingo game known throughout the Circle City area. For a very reasonable price, players received: hot pulled pork sandwiches, homemade potato chips, delicious macaroni salad, soft, chewy cookies, soft drinks, water, more candy, popcorn, and nuts than you can believe. Then there were the 10 prize-laden games, pull-tabs, the very popular heads or tails game, raffles, the 50/50 raffle, Interested in livelier drinks? The Knights of Columbus were happy to serve you.
Over 400 players came to their assigned seats, and the noise level rose with the excitement. Sr. Georgia kicked us off with a prayer, and heads bowed once again to concentrate on the bingo cards in hand. The K of C had their huge bingo board demonstrating each target game pattern and all the numbers called throughout the game.
Some people were curious. They asked, “You’re having this at the KFC? There’s a KFC big enough for over 400 people?” Most, however, know the path to the Knights of Columbus after attending the Bingo Extravaganza year after year.
Congratulations to Paula Urbanek and her cousin for winning the 50/50. Paula drove in from St. Louis, and her cousin joined her from Noblesville.
All of the volunteers for Bingo Extravaganza are listed below. The core group devoted nine months to make sure spectacular prizes were ready, from the very large Costco bear to beautifully wrapped baskets of wine, chocolate, other items always related to a theme.
The Little Sisters thank chair Angie Bagnoli from the bottom of their hearts. Angie has chaired this remarkable event for fifteen years, making sure that every game is full of fun, prizes, laughter, and great fellowship. Angie’s gifts of commitment, leadership, and dedication to the Little Sisters has been outstanding, and the Sisters hold you in their grateful prayers.
