KARAOKE-BINGO, December 14th 7:00 p.m.

Karaoke-BINGO has been an exciting and fun event for the community. It is also a very important part of our fundraising strategy for the 2012 year. To improve the reservation process, the reservations for BINGO went on-line. We now realize that “on-Line” reservations are not for everyone. So, we are going to offer two options: 1) The on-line reservation will continue with a major credit card online and 2) There will be 50 seats sold directly at the Shoreline-LFP Senior Center. The on-line seat reservation will cost $6.00 ($1.00 for the credit card fee), and the seat reservation will cost $5.00 in person at the Senior Center. If there are two or more people in a party, you will have to designate a “group leader”. The reservations do not have to be made at the same time by the group leader; individuals can make their own reservation, but list the same group leader, so that you will all be seated at the same table. Reservations are non-refundable. When you arrive at the Senior Center you will have to pay $5.00 for the BINGO packet as required by the Gambling Commission. Hope to see you in October!
