Our first Bingo of the next swim season will be on Thursday, Aug. 1 at the Tree of Peace. For those who don't know, we help run bingos in order to give parents/families opportunities to fundraise for their swimmers. The time slots are 4:30 to 7:30 and 7-10 pm. Each person who works a slot earns $100 towards their swimming fundraising quota or travel fund. Anyone over 16 can volunteer. Contact Angie Viloria with questions or to sign up: 867-444-1231, [email protected] or message her on Facebook. Sara
