Support is Key!

Muffins:

Every once in a while the week will fly by and you will look back wondering where the time evaporated to.  This has been one of those weeks (well months actually)!  Adding back into my routine the activities of biking, weight exercises and walking has taken a toll on my limited availability.  I really appreciate all of the support people have been sending me regarding my weight loss goals and attribute that to my success in achieving my goals. 

Busy though I am, I am happy to say that late last night I was able to get out and enjoy Bingo at the Bolt for a bit.  I need to tell you though that at one point in the evening it looked as though the bingo folk were going to pack it up and call an  early end to the night.  WHY?  Well consider this.  The games are first and foremost designed to be a fundraiser for the very deserving Aliveness Project.  In order for this to occur they need to sell bingo cards!

The big purse happens with game 12 and there is a requirement that in order to be able to play that game you need to have played games 10 – 12 consecutively.  Bingo begins at 9pm and generally is over at about 11pm.  The problem that almost put an end to the event last night was a poor turnout for the early games.  People have been delaying when they arrive to play so that they are there for games 10 – 12 - but this hardly seems fair to the people who put this fun event on for you.  If they don’t make the money to cover the prizes given away by selling cards then why bother?  It ceases being much of a fundraiser doesn’t it?  

You are all pretty smart cookies – er, um MUFFINS!  You get the picture – show up early play all the games and maybe win a prize or two.  The night is fun and the cause is worthy.  I don’t want to sound like your mother but next week don’t show up late for the ball!

Spoken with love and peace,

Margie
