Ladies Auxiliary
Pull tab workers needed. We do not want to lose this income and we only have four workers to date, this is too much for one person to do over and over. Workers are asked to arrive about 45miutes prior to the first game of Bingo. They sale the pull tab tickets and give away the prize money. You are finished when the second session starts. You will be here about three hours Ladies Auxiliary gets all of the profit from the Pull Tabs, if you would like to help the Ladies Auxiliary continue to receive these profits contact Rhona (940) 452-6044.
