Old Fashioned Bingo For Pet Lovers
Remember the old fashioned bingo we used to play years ago? You know...the
kind with no electronic equipment and speed games that you can't keep up with! On Sat-
urday, March 19th, SNIPPET will have just that! This is not your high-stakes bingo---just
fun for a good cause. For a $12 non-refundable donation, you will be able to play fun
and easy bingo with a great bunch of animal lovers! A light lunch is included at 12:15 pm,
followed by bingo at 1:00 pm. You`ll have a chance to win one of the many small prizes
or maybe a theme basket worth $25 or more. Everybody is welcome! Guys too, if you
dare! Seating is limited, so make your reservation soon. Call SNIPPET at 436-4268 today.
Admission will also be sold at the door as long as there is available seating. Mark your
calendar for March 19 at 12:15 pm at the Citrus County Resource Center, 2804 W. Marc
Knighton Ct., Lecanto. All proceeds will be used to help Citrus County residents who need
financial assistance to spay and neuter their pets.
