Terry also has inherited our BINGO program. It is a daunting task to find enough
volunteers for the games that are held once a week on Tuesdays. Even though he only
asks you to work one Tuesday a month, he is always begging.
So, this Editor will beg for him. PLEASE, if you can give-up 2 1/2 hours of your free time
one Tuesday a month, let Terry know. His cell # is 928- 242-5186.
By the way, you do NOT have to be a member of the VFW to work BINGO. Men's and Ladies
Auxiliary members are encouraged to volunteer also.
And Terry has sweetened the pot!!! For you VFW annual members, if you devote one night a
month to BINGO, after 1 year, the POST will buy your LIFE membership!
