Bingo Raises Money for Tribal Pow-wow Friday night bingo has become very popular in Grand Ronde. For the past few weeks, the Community Center has been packed full of community and tribal members who come to play a few games, and visit with one another. Serious bingo players will be glad to know that the prizes are all in the form of cash, and vary from game to game. In the event of more than one winner per game, the cash pot is divided up. Merle Leno calls the numbers, and others volunteer their timecooking snacks, or verifying winning cards. Bingo begins at 6:30 on Friday evenings. All proceeds help to fund your local Pow-wow!
