The First Congregational Church in Union City was filled Saturday, February 14, with fifty-four players as Community Unlimited Youth Board held their monthly Senior Bingo. Paula Blue, Ronda Fisk and Terra Logan came in at nine in the morning to supervise CU YB and members of National Honor Society in setting up tables, setting up the Bingo Bucks Store, decorating, running games, serving snacks, handing out prizes and socializing with the Bingo players.
“I wish people could see just how much work these kids put in, to put this event on every month,” commented Blue. “They come in early to set up and decorate, then stay late to take down everything and clean up. When we had the Christmas/New Year Celebration, some of us were here at the church for over twelve hours!” The amount of work increases when the games are held at the Congregational Church, because the prizes, bingo equipment, decorations and extra snacks are stored at the Wesleyan Church. Students made six trips after Bingo was finished, to get everything back where it belonged.
Drew Dinsmoor, Terry Binion, Paul Vosberg and Randy Taylor set up tables with help from Jeremiah King, David Wright, Matthew Miller and Devin Snyder. Working on decorations were Ashley Spottek, Karlie Snyder, Tabby Logan, and Maria Sebolt.
Maddie Spottek helped out at the registration desk.
February birthdays were celebrated by Alan Wilcox, Charlotte Garnsey, Loretta Hoskin and Sally Swarthout. Ruth and Quentin Waite celebrated their February wedding anniversary. Joe Morrison won the mystery auction with a bid of 40 Bingo Bucks. His prize: 40 Bingo Bucks, and a heart centerpiece.The next Bingo will be held on Saturday, March 14, from 1-4 PM at the Wesleyan Church (by the park). Join the fun and games with CU Youth Board!
