What an amazing time we had on Sunday for our first in-person Family Bingo Party in two years! We had a great turn out, tons of prizes, lots of gusty wind, and big BUBBLES! So much fun! Thank you to the incredible Bingo Dream Team - Melinda Godin, Amie Landau, and Karen Einbinder - for bringing your organizational prowess and can-do attitude, along with Jonathan Emanuel (DJ Shvitz!), Monica, and the rest of our happy volunteer crew. Todah rabah! |
