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!
