RSC NEWS BINGO IS BACK!!!!   RSC Bingo will again be part of the Raymond Town Fair on July 7, 8, 9, 2006 (Friday, Saturday, and Sunday) on the town green. This is our club’s largest fund raiser having received almost $3000 last year. The success is largely dependent on club members volunteering to help. It is a great event to have fun, socialize with members, and, for new members, to get in your volunteer hours. Festivities start Thursday evening at 5 p.m. when we set up the tent and tables.  Friday night, Saturday, and Sunday afternoon is BINGO time while Sunday evening, starting at 5 p.m., is take down and pack time.  Volunteers are need for all phases including money & change runners, callers, set up & take down, providing soft drinks.  Work shifts are typically 4 hours and many spend more time having FUN. Sign-up sheets will be at the clubhouse starting in May or you can call Jean Schwartz at 497-4339 or memnpep@rcn.com Looking forward to seeing you there and having another successful event. We need more volunteers for Friday and Saturday. John Butruccio has a contact for custom clocks with RSC logo or something of your choosing. See John.
