NOVEMBER SENIOR BINGO UPDATE

Almost fifty participants were present at the CUYB November Senior Bingo, held at the Community Unlimited building on November 21. Sharon Smith, Janice Vosburg, and Glee Majors celebrated birthdays, and Sally Swartout celebrated her wedding anniversary, with cakes and song. A surprise birthday celebration was held for Bingo Caller Terry Binion, marking his 18th birthday on November 6th. Players were treated to his rendition of “The Zippedee Birthday Song” and treated him to a slew of cards, including one depicting a year’s worth of photos of Terry from previous bingos, signed by all the attendees.





A “blind auction” was held, with Hazel Bowerman winning with a bid of $105 Bingo Bucks. Her prize was $110 Bingo Bucks.








A special guest at the lunch break was Cindy Fox, of Jack’s Grocery. She came in to kindly accept a large thank-you card that had been signed by players and CU members, in appreciation of Jack’s donation of monthly food for the games. Cindy also had a November birthday, so was given a birthday cupcake also.


Julie Dibert, Project Director for Community Unlimited, also spoke with the players about current activities and the need for financial assistance. Explaining about the Endowment Fund and the newest project the Backpack Food Program, she encouraged those that are able, to continue their contributions. She also thanked everyone for their faithful support during the previous year, and looked forward to next year’s bingo games being as well-attended.

Thank You Jack's Grocery!

Haunted Hallways 2009

The hallways of Union City Elementary, before the Haunting begins...




























Alison begins the task of decorating the doorways where the candy stations will be...














while Keith and Terry set up the outdoor sign.



The ghosts begin their dance as they wait for the trick-or-treaters to line up.











And did they ever line up! Over 1200 people came to enjoy a safe trick-or-treat experience at the eleventh annual Haunted Hallways!











Even the strollers had costumes, as the line wended its way to the parking lot.












Autumn Sparks of Mendon made sure she was the first in line, because nobody can deny candy to a cute pirate!












Miss Kitty hands out candy to Scooby Doo; the fur didn't fly but the yummies did!












Getting ready to give a scare... the shrieks could be heard clear down to Patricia Polacco's Graves House!

























Ahoy Mateys! Pirates were popular with all ages, as shown here with a young trick-or-treater and the Lady Pirate of Captain Bree handing out the candy!
