For the first time since the Covid pandemic, the Berkeley Heights Rotary Club was given the opportunity to host bingo for the veterans at the VA Hospital in Lyons. Several games of bingo were played with coupon books given as prizes that can be used at the PX. Pizza and soda were served courtesy of the Rotary Club at the conclusion of bingo. Bingo nights at the VA Hospital will be a regular event. If you are interested in assisting at future events please contact the Rotary Club at berkeleyheightsrotaryclub@gmail.com.
