| Bingo enthusiasts join in the fun at Aleli
Parlor’s Bingo Fundraiser on November 1, 2015 |
On Sunday,
November 1, 2015 the Sisters of Aleli Parlor No. 102 hosted a Bingo Fundraiser
at the Monterey Moose Lodge in Del Rey Oaks, California. The event
was open to the public and gave Aleli Parlor an opportunity to let the
community know about Native Daughters of the Golden West, the non-profit
foundations, and our Home in San Francisco.
Thirty people
attended, including members of Junipero Parlor No. 141 and San Juan Bautista
Parlor No. 179 who also joined in the fun. Guests had the opportunity to play
early-bird as well as regular Bingo games. Aleli Parlor members donated a
variety of gift baskets for use as Bingo game prizes in addition to a plethora
of raffle and door prizes. Pizza, nachos, homemade sweets, and other snacks
were available for purchase.
The event, Aleli
Parlor’s first fundraiser in many years, helped to raise over $1,500 to support
parlor activities and to fund community outreach programs. Parlor members were
pleased with the outcome and are planning another Bingo fundraiser in the
summer of 2016.
Many thanks go
to Aleli Parlor members Joanne Reyes for chairing the event and to Arlene
Tavani, Joanne Reyes, Laura Lawrence, Lillian King, Marlene Wisdom, and
Rosemary Perez for their donations and effort to make this event happen.
Special thanks go to Aleli Parlor husbands Rocco Tavani and Elrond Lawrence for
cooking and running the snack bar during the event.
