Bingo comes to an end

Recently The Commercial Review did a very nice article on the free senior bingo at Wal-Mart in their Senior supplement. Unfortunately the executives at Wal-Mart stopped bingo on the last Tuesday of June. We were informed that day by the new snack bar manager that it wasn’t a local decision and it was stopped at every store.

On Wednesday, Bluffton’s manager gave them the same news. No more bingo. Apparently there was a gambling issue somewhere at another store.

The following are the thanks I received over the past nine and a half years: Verlinda DeHoff, Anna Mae Brown, Beulah Hiser, Oral Jarrell, Esther, Odie Marchal, Wanda Barnett, Luelle Laux, Martha Hilgeford, Katie Fry, Luella Ontrop, Jim and Lou Haines, Bonnie Bisel, Jean Miller, Mary Ellen and Ron Bickel, Howard and Nancy Kelly, Greg Wilmore, Ann Wilmore, Roy and Mildred Williams, Alan and Ileen Mettler, Bonnie LeMaster, Ida Blalock, Helen Schwartz, Sam Glessner, Carol Mettert, Violet Imel, Bob and Nadine Coats, Ralph and Sadie Horner, Grace Bisel, Harry and Mary Shawver, Lauren Berry, Sylvia Shauver, Wilma Dues, Mary Ann Fields, Paul Byrley, Virginia Grissom, Joan Bailey, Bonnie Cart, Phyllis Jacobs and others that came over the past years and to the new players that were disappionted on the last day.

We had a lot of fun over the years.

Thanks CR for the write up and pictures.

Remember kids, don’t clear your card until I say so.
