May Events
First Fridays are Bingo Fridays
Friday, May 4th at 5:30 pm and every First Friday of the Month.
We’ve received so many requests that we’ve added Candy Bingo as a regular monthly event. The first Friday of the month we’ll be hosting games of Candy Bingo. Call 360-7768 to reserve your spot or swing by to see if there is room to join the bingo action!
Cinco de Mayo
Stop by on Saturday, May 5th to try a Mexican Coca-Cola or Mexican Pepsi. These sodas are the real deal, bottled in Mexico and made with pure cane sugar. See if you can taste the difference!
Round Two of Candy Bingo
We’re playing Candy Bingo again, but this time for charity!
Join us for another round of Candy Bingo on Friday, May 11th at 5:30pm and help raise money for the local charity, A Small Comfort. The entry fee to play is $5 for 2 rounds and all entry fee proceeds will be donated. Great prizes for our Bingo winners!
A Small Comfort is fundraising to renovate the Chippenham Medical Center. This playroom will provide a welcome respite for the kids being treated at the hospital and give them a place to play and laugh. We’re so happy to take part in the fundraising efforts, so let’s play so the kids and Chippenham can play too! Give us a call at 804.360.7768 to reserve your spot and come on out for another round! For more information about A Small Comfort, visit their website at www.asmallcomfort.org.
