BINGO update (Kim for Jaclyn)
        Gillian went to the BINGO meeting. There is a lot to do. Met with Jaclyn and her mother. Each band member was given two tickets to sell. Only 22 out of 52 have sold their tickets. This is a big fundraiser. Last year each band member was required to sell two tickets. A lot of good prizes, like driving lessons and spiritwear. Kids can volunteer but only over 18s can do some of the items. Gillian is happy to lead it, but will need support. (Moira) Need non senior parents to learn the ropes. Sign-up genius will be going out soon.
