Bingo (Every Friday Night, All Year-Round)

Friday-night Bingo is a year-round event –a steady, significant source of funds for the school and fun for the players. As a cashier, caller, floor worker, food server, or kitchen worker, you can help the players enjoy their evening out. Workers arrive around 5.30 p.m. to set up, and generally stay until about 11:00 p.m.. (Don’t worry about missing dinner–you can get a good sandwich from the kitchen during a lull in the action). Workers are assigned to rotating teams, your turn will come up every six weeks, Because teamwork and team reliability are so crucial to the success of Bingo, faithful Bingo team members who work all their turns in the year (July 1 to June 30) are credited with 60 hours (although the actual total is less).
