Soroptimist International of Mount Adams is sponsoring a family Bingo Night on Saturday, March 20, at the White Salmon Park Center, from 7 to 9 p.m.
All proceeds for the event will go to the White Salmon Youth Center.
The Bingo Night will include prizes from local businesses.
Admission is $3 per person, or $10 per family. Beverages and refreshments will also be for sale.
"The funds we raise are not going to be handed like a "blank check" over to the Youth Center for general use," explained Kris Jeter, fundraising co-chair for the club. "We're asking the kids to make proposals to our club to use the funds we raise at Bingo Night for projects they think will be beneficial to their members. This process will provide the kids a good opportunity for personal development, such as prioritizing, budgeting and public speaking. We're excited for the opportunity to work with the kids and to get to know them better."
"This is the second Bingo Night we've held to support a community cause. In November 2002 we held one to support Programs for Peaceful Living. We are hoping that the community will show the same enthusiasm and come join in the fun and show their support for the Youth Center," added Cindy Ward, president of Soroptimist International of Mount Adams.
