Are We Having Fun Yet? YES!
It's hard to believe that one fundraiser just ended and we're already planning for the next one!
You don't want to miss our 9th Annual Beach Blanket Bingo event on Thursday, September 22, 2011 at Florin Road Bingo in Sacramento. We'll be announcing more details here and on our website at http://www.florinroad.com/ in the months to come.
In the meantime, we'd love to hear from guests at this year's (or a prior year's) bingo event. What did you enjoy the most about it? What can we do to improve the experience?
Some changes we're considering for 2011: adding more bingo games and more door prizes, as well as offering cash prizes.
