Another successful Purse Bingo is a wrap!
Thank you to all of you who came out and volunteered your time on a Friday night. The extended registration table ran smoothly as each player was greeted and upsold on our extras. The food team did an outstanding job keeping the tables replenished. The pre-set up team were organized and ready to go even earlier this year. The bingo team of Mike T and Mike H ran a smooth set of 11 games. Paul S was well spoken and organized as our MC for the evening, keeping track of time and schedule. Purse models were so good that they could easily find work on a professional runway. Our spotters were on top of the winners and got them to the front quickly. The ongoing clean up crew kept the tables looking tidy. Sales of 50/50, extra games and luxury games were a huge success and add immensely to our bottom line. And lastly to all who stayed after the party was over to clean up and pack away our supplies, hopefully to be used again next year.
A very special thank you goes to sisters-in-crime Ann and Annie. They are the glue that make this evening go so seamlessly. Endless hours were spent tracking sales, organizing tables and setting up. And yes, we are really good at overthinking scenarios but it all works out!
On the back of an envelope without all the expenses known, it looks like we are in the $9000 neighbourhood which is a nice bit of money to go back to our community.
Once we have final tally, the sponsors and gift basket donors will be thanked and hopefully they will step up next year. We will also make arrangements with Pathstone and Pelham Cares to present them with our game proceeds.
Without our members and their bring-along partners, we could not organize such a successful event. So thank you to you and your very special spouses.
Until next year,
Mel, Ann and Annie
