The proceeds of the bingo went to North Baltimore Cub Scout Pack #372 ….
Numbers being called! Chips flying everywhere! Prizes and money awarded to the winners. Bingo was brought back to Good Ole Summertime.
North Baltimore Gleaners Life Insurance Arbor #461 ran the Bingo along with donating prizes from local area businesses and Gleaner memorabilia. The proceeds of the bingo went to North Baltimore Cub Scout Pack #372 who had parents and cubs on hand to help when needed.
We ended the bingo with the final game being a blackout or coverall for a 50 inch LED flat screen television. The final game was fairly intense as we sold out of all 200 bingo cards. Two people tied the final coverall game. So one final game was played between the two individuals with Zoey Beaupry winning the playoff game and the 50 inch television.
Overall bringing back Bingo to GOST was a success. We hope you will join us again next year at GOST for more Bingo, cards and chips. We heard nothing but praise from all the participating players. Thank you.
