Get Festive: Bingo and Holiday Celebrations in November!

Bingo has always been my favorite, starting as a Christmas tradition at my grandma’s house. The grandkids would crowd around the bingo wheel, hoping to win some candy before leaving. By age 13, I was even showing up early to bingo on a family cruise, where the callers knew me by name. My big win? A whopping $33! Since then, I’ve had a lucky streak, walking away with a prize or at least a story almost every time. As the holiday season approaches, I’ll be at the senior center on November 15th to show off my skills!
