Bingo Every Wed. and Fri. at the Post
Every Friday night at 6:30, Post 312 hosts our Bingo. We are looking for volunteers to work the floor, sell pull tabs, verify Bingo winners, and just help out in general. Bingo is the means by which Post 312 provides all the Community Services throughout the year, that we do. Most volunteers are usually out of there by 8:30 or 9:00. Just a couple of hours once a month, is all we ask. Call Jay Marsden or Bob Strahm if interested,
