Crazy, Wacky Bingo
To Benefit Pets
Snippet Citrus has planned
a fun afternoon of "Crazy Wacky
Bingo" on Saturday, January 21.
This is not your high-stakes bingo
for serious players--it's just fun for
a good cause and a chance to enjoy
old friends and make new ones.
Everyone who attends will
have lots of chances to win prizes
or gift baskets.  Besides guaran-
teeing an afternoon of smiles, fun
and prizes--plus snacks,  dessert
and coffee--your $12 nonrefund-
able donation will enable Snippet to
help those people who want to do
the right thing for their pets but just
can t do it financially.
Snippet is a nonprofit all-
volunteer organization that raises
funds to  help qualifying Citrus
County residents spay and neuter
their cats and dogs. Pet shelters are
full of unwanted pets, and Snippet's
