We had a spooktacular Halloween Bingo event last week. The evening was full of lots of luck and unique bingo games. Thank you to all who attended. And a special thank you to St. Paul’s Parish House for the venue and the Blue Bus Foundation for the opportunity. We had lots of spooky winners and an Eery good time. The NKEF appreciates all the support.
