[MurrayMatters] Bingo Night Great Success

[Susan Weiner]

    Dear Parents,
           Bingo Night last weekend was fabulously successful once  again.  The school was packed with  families having a great time—whether you were in the main room playing bingo or  in the Silly Safari collecting stuffed animals or in the gym shooting hoops—and  we netted almost $2,000 to boot.  
           It truly is a wonderful event that combines so much family  fun and also raises funds to support programs that enrich your child’s  educational experience.  Thank you, thank  you to Nancy and John Spindel for organizing this event.  
           In addition to the Spindel’s, there are many people to thank  for volunteering at this event.  For fear  that I will forget someone, I am going to name individually only Betty and  Wayne Knight.  Betty and Wayne are  invaluable to the school in so many ways, but we especially appreciate their  participation on Bingo Night.  They do a  terrific job getting the crowd excited and getting the job done.  
           Unfortunately for us, next year will be the Spindel’s last  year at Murray Elementary.  We are going  to miss their energy and creativity on many fronts, but particularly acutely on  Bingo Night.  We are looking for someone  to work with Nancy next year to  learn the ropes of pulling off this tremendously successful event.  If you have any interest, please contact  Susan Weiner at 825-1646 or susanfweiner at yahoo.com.  There is no question that this event requires  some effort to organize, but Nancy and John have it down to a science and they  will be happy to share this structure.  
           Thanks also to the legion of parents that helped at the  door, managed games on the upper hall, monitored the gym, and cleaned up  afterwards.  Thanks also to the  custodians for cleaning and readying the building for our children on Monday  morning.  
           What a great event!
           Susan Weiner
