Our Parish has been running Bingo on a Saturday evening for close to 45 years. Over this time the school has received monetary donations of approx $12,000 per year, for support in achieving and maintaining larger projects around the school. just recently new airconditioning in the Marian Centre.
In raising this money, the small Bingo Committee, needs some support from our school families to volunteer and assist on the Bingo roster once or twice over an 8 week period .
The tasks that we require help in are -
- Ticket Selling - 6.30pm - 9.30pm - 3 hours
- Canteen - 6.30pm - 9.00pm - 2.5hours
- Caller - 7.30pm - 10.00pm - 2.5 hours. This is now done by 'auto call'
- Floor Walker - 7.30pm - 10.00pm - 2.5 hours. This is checking the winners ticket and calling back the ticket number
Bingo is held in the Marian Centre Saturday evenings for people in our community and volunteers will help other people from the committee, parish or the school. This is a great way to meet new people and help raise funds for our school and parish.
