Bingo Night this Friday, September 7th at 7:00pm
The Glen Echo Fire Department will be holding its annual family-friendly Bingo Night on Friday, September 7th at 7:00pm, in the Spanish Ballroom in Glen Echo Park to benefit the Glen Echo Fire Department, which provides emergency and fire protection service 24X7 365 days a year to residents of our service area. In addition to a live bingo caller, refreshments will be available. This is a great, wholesome family event (bingo played the old fashioned way), typically attended by hundreds of bingo enthusiasts.
Many local businesses have donated prizes and silent auction items, including gift cards. Among the donations are a bike helmet (can be exchanged for the correct size) and a sturdy lock from Big Wheel Bikes and a pool toy from Anglo Dutch Pools and Toys.
