Join Me at Big Night of BINGO for Missoula Big Brothers/Sisters
Wow, instead of one night a year calling BINGO, I get two this year. Well, when you're in high demand and all, you know...
Seriously, it's a wonderful opportunity to do my little part to help support an awesome organization here in Missoula. I get that chance every year at the Western Montana Fair, calling a night of BINGO with Soroptimist International of Missoula. And now the Missoula Big Brothers/Big Sisters organization has asked me to call their BIG NIGHT OF BINGO, this Thursday, October 19, 7:00 - 9:00 p.m., in the Home Arts Building, Missoula County Fairgrounds.
