ANNOUNCEMENTS:
REMINDERS:
Bingo Chair Sandy McDowell – Bingo Report from our first week at Bingo – our profit will be approximately $500 for the night. Our float balanced at the end of the night. Lots of helpful tips learned from night One: have dinner before you get there. Be there at 4:30 pm – there is lots to do and we start selling at 5:30 pm. Team Captains – you may want to add two more people to your team, certainly, for the first few weeks your team is on duty. The Bingo goodie bag will go from Captain to captain – it is filled with the float, calculators, pens, aprons (A big thank you to Sue MacKinnon who made the aprons). Rotate the jobs on your team so that everyone can do each job. There is lots to do to clean up at the end of our session and it must be done accurately and quickly . Need at least three team member on the floor then. The customers will be lined up for the next bingo session. If you have any tips that you see during your night, please tell Sandy and she will pass them on to everyone.
